The dispatchers found a man, later identified as Kevin Tupper, smashing the front doors of the station with an unknown object, fire officials said.
While waiting for police to arrive, Tupper pointed something with a red laser at dispatchers, fire officials added. Tupper then allegedly pointed the same object at police officers.
During his arrest, officers discovered the object was a thermometer. Investigators also learned Tupper previously broke into an on-duty officer's car and stole some of his belongings.
Tupper is facing multiple charges including damaging property, breaking and entering a motor vehicle and receiving stolen property.
