GRANITE CITY, Ill. — The Granite City Police Department responded to a report of a male experiencing a mental health crisis on Glen Drive at approximately 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. Upon arrival at the 2100 block, officers learned that the individual had possibly barricaded himself inside a residence with a weapon and was refusing to exit.

As Hurricane Milton approached, Malinowski communicated with his followers, reassuring them of his safety even as the storm intensified. Despite the life-threatening conditions forecasted for the area, including storm surges and high winds, Malinowski remained nonchalant. He provided updates throughout the night, including a TikTok post around 10:30 p.m. where he stated, “I haven’t even spilled my coffee yet,”
