Knife pulled at West Bend polling place

WEST BEND, Wis. —
A man walked into a West Bend polling location Tuesday afternoon with a knife and demanded staff "stop the voting," West Bend police said.

It happened at about 12:35 p.m. at West Bend Community Memorial Library.

Police responded and arrested a 38-year-old man. No one was injured.

Voting was paused for just more than 30 minutes, police said.

The polling site has reopened.
