The landlord thought an evicted tenant was trespassing.
When they arrived, the officer found the door to the unit was barricaded. When he used force to open it, it triggered the trap and three butter knives were launched at him.
Police say one hit his chest, another his hand and the last fell to the floor.
No one was hurt and the investigation is ongoing. Charges haven’t been laid at this time.
