Wheeling Police arrested an individual Tuesday morning after they brandished a weapon.
Around 9:15 a.m., police were called to the Springhill Suites in the 900 block of National Road for a report of a man inside being disorderly. The suspect was asked to leave the property by hotel staff, causing him to become agitated and threaten employees with a knife.
After obtaining a description of the suspect, officers encountered him at the bottom of Anthoni Avenue, where they were able to quickly place 32-year-old Patrick James Ankrom under arrest. Police learned Ankrom had been in the Wheeling area for just a few days and had no fixed address, with a last known residence of Latrobe, Pa.
Ankrom is charged with brandishing and was taken to the Northern Regional Jail by police. A cash only bond was set at $1,000. He also was wanted for an extraditable warrant in the state of Pennsylvania.
