Police said he was first charged around 4:30 p.m. Sunday after cursing at family members and officers at his home on South Park Street.
Muzykowski was released from custody. Police said he told them he wouldn't let them into his home anymore and would need to buy a handgun, saying, "I'm gonna have to start shooting people."
Hours later, around 11:30 p.m., police responded again to Muzykowski's property after neighbors complained of loud noises coming from his home. Police said Muzykowski was again "defiant when being placed under arrest."
