Man in his 30s charged with reckless behavior after threats – news Oslo and Viken – Local news, TV and radio

The man of Eastern European origin was today detained for two weeks, until 17 November. He is charged with reckless conduct, with a penalty of up to two years. The accused is said to have threatened several children who went trick-or-treating on Halloween, according to reports the police received. Several of the messages stated that he had threatened them with a knife, but it is unclear whether the man had a knife or not. He was initially charged with threats, but the charge was downgraded to reckless behavior as a result of no knife being found, according to the ruling from Buskerud district court. The ruling also states that the man must have been released from prison five hours earlier in connection with another criminal offence. After his release, he is said to have bought a bottle of vodka, and it was after consuming this that things allegedly went wrong, according to the ruling. The court believes that the accused lacks the ability to refrain from new criminal offences, particularly where the accused consumes alcohol, which he does not seem to be able to refrain from. This is the reason why the man was detained for two weeks, according to the ruling from the district court. The accused has appealed the ruling to the Court of Appeal. The police investigated around the home in Krokstadelva on Tuesday evening, where the man was arrested. He is said not to have been arrested in his own residence, but at a residence nearby.
