Man brings AR-15, shotgun to credit union after threatening employees, deputies say
SPRINGFIELD, Mich. — He said was going to "show up and raise some hell," according to the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.
Just before noon Thursday, he seemingly followed through on that promise by showing up to the Omni Credit Union on Dickman Road in Springfield, with a shotgun strapped to his back, a handgun on his hip and an AR-15 in the trunk of his car, deputies said.
The man had visited a different Omni Credit Union branch prior and grew frustrated about an alleged banking issue, according to the sheriff's office.

The man walked into the Omni Credit Union on Dickman Road, just before deputies with the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the scene around 11:50 a.m. for a "man with a gun" strapped to his back.
That gun was a loaded, semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun with an extended magazine, according to deputies.
He was also carrying a handgun in his waistband, and an AR-15 in his vehicle, deputies said.
A credit union employee was able to talk to the man while other employees went into the vault and waited for deputies to arrive.
The man was arrested and is being held at the Calhoun County Jail.
