Lesson: Don't wield your saw, chase people with your saw, rev your saw inside your house, and stick the revving saw out windows.

GREEN TWP., Shelby County —

A 40-year-old man is being held after he allegedly threatened people with a chainsaw during a standoff with authorities overnight.

Phillip Allen Leonard is being held on $7,500 bond in the Shelby County Jail on suspicion of aggravated menacing; assault; inducing panic; and obstructing official business.

Shelby County deputies and Sidney police responded to Leonard’s home on Ohio 29 East shortly before 3 a.m. on the report of a man chasing people with a chainsaw in his hand, according to a release from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.

Officers could hear the chainsaw running inside the house as Leonard refused to come out. Friends and his wife had already run to a neighbor’s home for safety, according to the release.

Authorities said before Leonard agreed to surrender, he revved the chainsaw several times and held it outside various windows.

The suspect was taken by squad to Wilson Health for a precaution because he admitted to using cocaine and alcohol, according to the release.

Only person I would chase with a saw is someone who was trying to break into my house, someone trying to hurt my wife, or a tree hugger trying to stop me from cutting a tree.

Ah yes, this is why I love living in Ohio. You just never know...

 

[skidooguy]

cocaine is one hell of a drug is what that guy was thinking. At least he didn't cut his house apart from the inside out either. Hahaha.

As usual ........ they are short on facts. What brand/model saw, was it ported and by who?

 

[CrufflerJJ]

It was almost certainly an Assault Saw. You know...the type with a high capacity fuel tank and bar/chain over 20" in length. Why would anybody truly NEED such a saw? Think of the children!

and he probably lied on his background check to buy it.

Masterminded ?

Next thing you know we will have to register chainsaws and have a special licence to buy one, ffs.

If it saves the life of just one child, then it will be all worth it!

Next to come: safe storage regulations. Saws must be stored unfueled, bar/chain locked in a separate cabinet. Do it for the children.
