Lincoln Police were called to the 6800 block of Wildcat Lane around 10:30 Monday morning by someone who reported a man was threatening passerby’s with a large knife.
“The victim saw the man approaching vehicles, raising the knife in the air, and yelling expletives at the victim and others around,” says Sergeant Chris Vigil. 38-year-old Mitchell Prester was located nearby, matching the description given by the caller and holding a large kitchen knife.

Prester was arrested for Terroristic Threats and Use of a Deadly Weapon to Commit a Felony
