Authorities in Alliance were forced to use their Taser on a knife-wielding man who was threatening drivers and jumping in front of moving vehicles, Fox 8 News reports.
According to the Alliance Police Department's Facebook page, William A. Moore was arrested following the disturbance in the 2400 block of South Union Avenue.
Carrying a pocket knife, Moore was reported to be walking down the street screaming threats at motorists and jumping in front of and on vehicles.
