SPENCER – A Spencer man who police say threatened to harm his mom and kill his 4-year-old daughter was caught by police Thursday.
According to Spencer police, on September 10, 2015 at 3:41 PM, the Spencer Police Department along with the H.E.A.T. (High Risk Entry and Arrest Team) Team executed an arrest warrant at 1009 West 7th Street in Spencer. The arrest warrant was for 26-year-old Michael Nelson for first degree harassment. The warrant stems from an incident earlier in the day in which Michael Nelson threatened to harm his mother and kill his 4-year-old daughter.
Due to the time of day, the threat of a weapon, and its proximity to multiple schools, bus locations, safe routes to school trail, and public parks, all Spencer schools were advised to move to lockdown.
Michael Nelson was later taken into custody without incident and held at the Clay County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
The Spencer Police Department thanked all of the parents, children, and school staff for their cooperation during this incident.
