Man with machete breaks into graduation party in Mecosta Co., tells people they’re ‘going to hell’
MECOSTA COUNTY — Troopers from the Michigan State Police Mt. Pleasant Post and Mecosta County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to the Green Township Hall in Paris on Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. for a report of a man wielding a machete. Officials said a man - identified as a 36-year-old from Hersey - shattered the glass of the front door of the hall with a machete and then proceeded to an open side door and made entry into the building where a graduation party was being held. He began waving the machete while making many statements including that “everyone was going to hell,” officials said. Three people from the graduation party confronted the man and were able to use a chair to push the man out of the building, officials said.
