Joan Learned was going through her morning routine when she looked out her second-story window and witnessed a strange sight.
She saw a cargo van parked in her driveway. She watched as a man, identified by police as Wayne Snyder, sat in the van for several minutes.
“All of a sudden he got out of his car, went to the back of the cargo, opened it up [and] took out an axe,” she continued. Joan watched the man walk across her front yard and drop the axe in my back yard.
She called 911 and turned on the lights in her kitchen. "As I was talking to 911 he started backing out slowly," she told WCCO. Snyder took off, leading arriving cops on a high-speed chase that ended when he rammed a woman's vehicle and two police cars.
Police Chief Mike Risvold told Valley News Live that Snyder drove his vehicle in what appears to be an intentional act of driving into one of the squad cars.
When cops searched near Learned’s house, they found a machete and axe.
Snyder won’t use them anytime soon. He is being held without bail on assault charges.
