A 37-year-old Manitowoc man was taken into police custody yesterday after he allegedly threatened a woman with a knife.
Police were called to an apartment complex in the 500 block of East Reed Avenue just before 12:30 PM and spoke with the victim.
She told police that the two were in the apartment together because she was helping him move in.
The man accused the victim of stealing his marijuana, which she adamantly denied.
He then grabbed what was described as a “butcher knife” from a nearby wooden block and pointed it at her throat. He threatened to cut and kill the woman, but she was eventually able to walk out of the apartment.
The man was located several hours later at a different residence, reportedly causing a disturbance, and threatening people, according to the police report.
The man was taken into custody on a single charge of Disorderly Conduct While Armed.
