Around 2am, an off duty officer was at home near the Nannup Police Station when he observed a trailer and a motorcycle being dragged and abandoned outside the station.
A man in a nearby vehicle was also shining a light into the officer’s private residence.
The vehicle then departed and was located a short time later in the Nannup town area by police.
After being confronted by officers, the male driver of the vehicle then sped off and was located a short time later driving recklessly in the car park of the police station.
Police then heard a gunshot, and observed the man was armed with a firearm.
He made threats to police before driving off.
Shortly after, he was heard again driving recklessly around the Nannup area.
