A man crashed a car into a house in Lake Forest Monday and then allegedly threatened two people with a pick-axe before sheriff’s deputies subdued him, authorities said.
Orange County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 11:54 a.m. to the 2200 block of Robin Street after a gray Kia sedan slammed into a house, Orange County sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Woodroof said. When the driver got out of the car he obtained a pick axe and threatened two people, Woodroof alleged.
Deputies subdued him with less-than-lethal weapons and took him to an area hospital to be treated for an apparent head injury he suffered in the crash, Woodroof said.
No one was injured in the crash or the incident with the pick-axe, he said.
