Former Golden, Colo. resident Matthew Mannix, 35 was \u201cextremely high\u201d on drugs when he told police he had \u201ca magazine full of rounds\u201d and that he \u201cwould pull the trigger\u201d if they didn\u2019t leave, according to the report.<\/p>\n

No gun was found but, according to the police report, officers could hear a woman\u2019s voice yelling through the door, \u201cHe has a knife!\u201d<\/p>\n

SWAT Happened<\/h2>\n

Police and SWAT responded to the Las Vegas Strip casino hotel after a domestic disturbance call at 9:15 a.m. local time. Witnesses had seen Mannix bust out a window in his Octavius Tower guest suite and begin dropping chairs and other items 21 floors to a Caesars Palace pool deck below.<\/p>\n

No one was injured by the falling objects since the area was quickly evacuated. The damage Mannix caused to his room is estimated to exceed $50K, according to KTNV. <\/em><\/p>\n

According to Las Vegas police, Mannix has a warrant for his arrest, as well as four active restraining orders, in Colorado. The offense that triggered the warrant is redacted in the arrest report.<\/p>\n

Mannix’s victim, whose name was also redacted in the arrest report, told police that she and Mannix were experiencing homelessness as a couple on the Las Vegas Strip and had binged on illegal drugs for several days. She stated she didn\u2019t leave the room because she feared for her life. She also stated that she believed Mannix to be an actor employed by MTV.<\/p>\n

\n

Mannix faces charges from Clark County for kidnapping, coercion with force or threat of force with a deadly weapon, destroying or injuring real or personal property, resisting a public officer with a deadly weapon (not a firearm), and disregarding the safety of people and property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He is due to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
