When Mountain Home officers arrived, the took Jorsch into custody and as they were approaching the nurses station, Jorsch again started screaming, saying when he got out of jail, he was going to come back and kill everyone in the hospital.
Jorsch is charged with battery in the second degree on a police officer, terroristic threatening and criminal mischief. His bond is set at $10,000.
