Anonymous Caller Inaccurately Told Police Person Carrying Gun at Waukesha Bar
Capt. Dennis Angle said the caller had specific information but police could not verify that information.
An anonymous phone call to the Waukesha Police Department dispatchers that had very specific details, but inaccurate, about a person with a firearm at a downtown bar led to a large police response Sunday afternoon, Capt. Dennis Angle said.
"The information that we got could not be substantiated," Angle said.
The Waukesha Police Department blocked off streets in the downtown area Sunday afternoon. Officers detained and patted down several people but no weapon was located. The owner of Hannon's Fine Food and Cocktails was extremely cooperative with police, Angle said.
