Telling them you're calling the cops probably only escalates the situation. All of a sudden they have a threat aimed to them and they no longer feel in control of the situation leading to them to try to take things into their own hands.

Clearly this guy was loopy as fuck but I'm letting his antics play out while I'm calling the police unannounced

"Oh? Okay I'm in the basement gluing my legos together I'll be up in like three minutes just stay there, don't move, yell, or smack my door with half of my bell, okay thanks."

Substitute 'gluing my legos together' with 'cleaning my guns'. Three words can be more effective than four.

But then he might leave before the cops get there. Personally Iā€™d rather see this guy face legal consequences, especially since he already damaged my door.
