Terroristic threats A knife-wielding man slashed at his walls and refrigerator, appar ently angry because someone stole his video camera. Lincoln Police were called to 135 F St. early Saturday morning on a disturbance call. When they got there, the man’s girlfriend said he became enraged when he couldn’t find the camera. The man kicked down his own apartment door and went in to get a butcher knife, Lincoln Police Sgt. Ann Heermann said. He then walked in the hall and down to another apart ment, where he stabbed the door. Heermann said the man claimed he was going to kill someone be cause of the missing camera.
