Police Blotter: Man Threatened To Kill Everyone In Neighborhood

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

A Cannon Street man was taken into custody after his neighbor said he threatened to kill her.

The neighbor said the man approached her and started an argument, then pulled a dark-colored pistol and pointed it at her head.

She said he stated, "I'll kill you and everybody in this block."

The woman said she was "completely terrified" of the man and believed he would carry out the threat.

When police arrived, the man had gone into a residence and he did not answer the door. Police entered by force after getting approval of the landlord.

They found the man exiting the kitchen and took him into custody without incident. A loaded 9-mm. pistol was found in his vehicle.

The man was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon.

A woman said she was threatened with death by a man who had just gotten out of jail for assaulting her.

the woman said Patrick Suttles called her cell phone and threatened to kill her by cutting her into little pieces. She said he was arrested for aggravated burglary and aggravated assault at her residence on Sunday 12, and he was released from jail on Tuesday.

While police were talking to her, they said a call came into her cell phone from Suttles. An officer called him back and he denied calling her and said he does not know her.

The woman took out new warrants against Suttles.

A woman on Pineville Road said she told Cortney Keasler to leave her residence. She said he then attacked her, ripping her shirt, throwing her on the floor and kneeing her in the face several times.

Police said the woman had a bloody nose. An assault warrant was taken against Keasler.

A woman on N. Chamberlain Avenue said she and a male were at her house celebrating her birthday when he began calling her and others "bitches and hoes."

She said when he objected to that language, he became angry and went into the bathroom, where he put on a wig and girls clothes.

She said when he came back out he went into a bedroom and came out with a handgun. She said he pointed the gun at her as he cursed her. She said she was able to get the gun away from him, and she found it was a BB gun made to look like a real pistol.

The suspect was taken into custody on charges of aggravated assault.

Chapin would have wanted.  He was a protector and sacrificed his life so the rest of ... (click for more)
