How an Alaska man drove into a mall and threatened people with a machete

A man drove his vehicle into an Alaska shopping mall entrance, and then brandished a machete, at 2 a.m. Monday morning, authorities said.

Rogelio Rogel, who is 44 years old, reportedly threatened the security guards with his weapon and he would not drop it, despite attempted negotiations. That’s when the officers released the police dog on Rogel.

The man then injured the animal with his machete, and it ended up needing staples in its leg before returning to work as a K9.

How did authorities eventually get the man arrested after all the commotion? And what charges does he face right now?
