Officers used a Taser to arrest a Vancouver man accused of pulling a knife at a Hough neighborhood bar.
Vancouver police officers were called to the Tip Top Tavern, 2100 Main St., just before 1 a.m. Monday for a reported disturbance with a weapon.
Arriving officers learned that a man, 55-year-old Paul Rice, had become angry with several patrons who were trying to put a dog inside a car, Vancouver Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.
Rice became enraged and pulled a knife with a six-inch blade, threatening to harm the patrons, Kapp said. Police located Rice at the intersection of West 20th and Washington streets and made repeated efforts to detain him, Kapp said.
