Man Arrested At Gunpoint Outside Waukesha Hospital: Report

WAUKESHA, WI — A resident of Montana was arrested at gunpoint Friday after police say the pipe-wielding man caused a danger outside the Waukesha Memorial Hospital.

According to Waukesha police call logs, officers responded to the parking lot of the Waukesha Memorial Hospital, 725 American Ave., at just before 6 a.m. on July 5 on a report of a person who armed themselves with a blunt weapon and was threatening those around him.

Police call logs stated that the weapon was a three-foot-long pipe, and that he was waving the pipe in a threatening manner on hospital grounds.

Waukesha police told Patch that the pipe-wielding man, Wyahtha Sandlin, was ordered to drop the weapon, and was taken into custody at gunpoint without further incident.

According to court documents, Sandlin has now been charged with disorderly conduct-use of a dangerous weapon and bail jumping. He's currently being held in the Waukesha County Jail on a $500 cash bond, and is due next in court on July 22.
