A hatchet - what's the big deal?

A 23-year-old man from Cary reportedly tried to take a hatchet in the courthouse in Woodstock this morning, and the fight was on.

Maybe he just wanted to cut through some red tape. You think?

Even the Court Security Chief said there were no threats. Are hatchets on the list of prohibited items, like cameras and open bottles of water?

Charges of unlawful use of a weapon are being considered.

I wonder if the man got to his 9:00AM court time with Judge Feetterer. If not, was a warrant issued for him?

Glad gun control was used by the court officers in NOT pulling the trigger smoothly. From what I read on line,I believe the term used by the police that best describes their actions is a "Pig Pile" on the bad guy. Seems he is thought to be a nut case, and he may have been trying to prove it. Glad no one was seriously hurt on either side.
