A St. Paul man declared “all-out war” against a policy adviser in the mayor’s office when the city failed to remove a homeless encampment near his home, authorities say.

Jeffrey Karl Weissbach, 62, called City Hall on July 10 about an encampment that had taken shape in front of a bridge near his home in the 300 block of Colborne Street, according to a Ramsey County criminal complaint charging him with making threats of violence, a felony.

A policy adviser fielded the call and passed on the information to city staff who work with contractors to clean up encampments, the complaint said.

Frustrated that the camp was still standing, Weissbach reportedly called back around 10 times the next day.

In one voicemail, he declared: “It’s all-out war and I will hunt you down and kill you like a dog,” according to the complaint.

A police investigator reviewed the message and called Weissbach, who admitted to angrily calling the mayor’s office and leaving multiple messages. But he denied threatening violence and claimed he was being set up, the complaint said.

Weissbach acknowledged he keeps two rifles in his house.

He was charged via warrant Friday and is yet to appear in court on the allegations.

He could not be reached for comment and no attorney was listed in court records.
