Kolar told cops there had been a number of “malicious activities” in the neighbourhood in the days leading up to the incident on October 5. When police asked Kolar why he brandished a flamethrower, he “hesitated and said he did not know”.

Bowden and Langkemp have been released with the charges dropped. But Kolar has been charged with disorderly conduct and is due in court on November 2.
