Bloodied man arrested after threats to shoot people in NKY

COVINGTON, Ky. (WXIX) - A bloodied man was arrested Thursday in Covington after police say he tried to shoot at people from a fire escape.

Micah Jacobs, 22, is facing charges of terroristic threatening, criminal trespassing, and menacing, according to Covington police.

Around 4:30 a.m. Thursday, Jacobs was climbing a fire escape on Greenup Street as he pointed a gun at a man and woman inside a nearby apartment, police explained.

The 22-year-old threatened to shoot the man and break into the apartment, police said.
