Police in Paragould, Akansas say they recieved a threatening phone call at the police station before the weekend on Friday.

The caller was at a mobile home park and authorities say two officers responded shortly after they received the call. Through the investigation police say when the officers arrived, a man confronted them with a knife, refusing their orders to drop the knife and continued to head towards them.
