You Think Drugs Are Involved?

From the Las Vegas Sun:
A pantsless man with a butcher knife barricaded himself inside another person’s home Tuesday after the homeowner came home to find him watching his TV in underwear.
Metro Police responded to the home intrusion about 5 p.m. in the 9000 block of Crystal Rock Circle, near Gilespie Street and Pebble Road. When police approached the pants-less man, he whipped out a butcher’s knife and refused to leave, police said.
SWAT Police are responding to resolve the situation.

That had to hurt when the pantless man whipped out the knife  the butcher knife.
And if he was sitting down, that could have been painful as well.
Seriously, though, not sure why SWAT was called out.  A well placed taser should be able to handle the situation quite easily.
Unless drugs were involved.

Update: The cops ended up shooting the guy.
Update 2: The guy died
