A closer examination of the video showed that Clingham was at the rear area of the department carrying a large \u201cbutcher\u201d type knife. As one of the officers walked outside of the department, he noticed that there was a bicycle laying in a parking spot where a patrol car is normally parked. The officer, used his training and experience and began to believe that the bicycle could have been placed there as a distraction. Believing this to be the case, the officer cautiously began scanning the area and looked to areas where a person could be hiding or waiting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-127467\" src=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/54257973_980307158840733_2556424745725722624_o-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The officer observed Clingham standing in a corner area holding the knife in his right hand.
