DES MOINES, Iowa -- A man with a knife was arrested inside a campaign headquarters of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in Decorah in northeast Iowa, police said Wednesday.

Christopher James Faris, 42, of Decorah, was arrested Monday evening. He was charged with carrying weapons and third-degree harassment.

Police Chief Tom Courtney said Faris pulled out the knife, but no direct threats were made.


"He just came into the headquarters, just mainly staff was there. There were no comments made about Hillary Clinton at all or nothing like that."

According to the police report, officers responded to a call from Clinton's campaign office at 5:20 p.m. about a man with a knife.

"It was a short episode. He left even before the officers arrived" and was arrested walking in the area, the police chief said.

"He's one of these guys we've dealt with before in town here. We're aware of his behaviors," the police chief said. "I don't want to say off-the-wall, but his behaviors can be kind of just that -- a little intimidating or a little non-clear on just what he is intending when he talks to people."

Courtney said Faris had a hunting knife. He was in the Winneshiek County jail on Wednesday on $5,000 bond.

Clinton spokesman Mark Daley said he was not aware of the incident.

Sounds like another Clinton satisfied customer, lolol...
