Decorah man arrested for acting like a gunman

A gunman did NOT walk through T-Bock's Bar and Grille on Saturday night.  But customers could be forgiven for thinking one did.

Decorah Police were called after a man dressed in full camouflage  with his face painted entered T-Bock's carrying a Wii toy gun masked with long grass.  The man walked crouched through the bar and grill, pointed the toy gun at people and shining a head-mounted light in customers' faces as he walked through the bar.

The bar owner ordered the man to leave the bar and the man left without incident.

Decorah Police apprehended the man a short time later and took him into custody.  19-year-old James Thorne of 326 1/2 Washington Street, Apartment #1, was charged with disorderly conduct for causing fear in people through his actions.
