Richmond Police Department bicycle patrol officers arrested two people Thursday night in connection with an incident on Main Street in which one of the suspects pulled a knife on another man.
Danny R. Peters, 45, of Race Street, and Candice Hensley, aka Candice Peters, 29, of Walnut Street, were arrested following an investigation into the incident, said Sgt. Willard Reardon, Richmond Police Department spokesman.
Bicycle patrol officers initially saw the victim in the case running in the 900 block of E. Main Street, Reardon said, and the victim told police a man had pulled a knife on him.
Officers found Peters in a nearby yard and approached him to investigate, Reardon said, and saw Hensley helping Peters conceal a knife.
Peters was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment and alcohol intoxication, while Hensley was charged with tampering with physical evidence. Both were lodged in the Madison County Detention Center.
Assault arrest
Police also arrested a Lancaster man Thursday afternoon for fourth-degree assault after they say he allegedly shoved his girlfriend to the ground, cutting her face on a curb.
Jayson T. Bartley, 32, is charged with fourth-degree assault, possession of drug paraphernalia and public intoxication for the incident in the 1600 block of Foxhaven Drive.
Reardon said police began investigating after a resident in the area flagged an officer down to report that the couple had visited a yard sale in the area and the woman was bleeding from her neck and needed medical attention.
Officers found the couple near 1648 Foxhaven Drive, where the woman told police Bartley had shoved her to the ground, cutting her chin on a curb.
The drug paraphernalia charge stems from rolling papers found on Bartley when he was arrested. He was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center.
Other crimes
• Police made an arrest Wednesday in the case of several pit bull/bull mastiff puppies stolen from the garage of a home on Hill Street.
Tony R. Gay, 18, of Race Street, was charged with receiving stolen property, more than $300, after Officer Dustin Mullins found four of the nine missing puppies valued at $675 at Gay’s home while investigating the May 8 theft.
Gay was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center, while the dogs were returned to their owner.
• A Keystone Drive apartment resident reported Monday that $2,875 in items were taken from his home in the 200 block during the day.
Reported stolen were a Sony Vaio laptop computer, a Gateway laptop computer, two white gold diamond rings, a white gold sapphire ring, a Samsung digital camera and a bottle of prescription medication.
• A Garmin GPS unit was reported stolen Thursday from an unlocked car in the 300 block of Irvine View.
The Garmin Nuvi 250w unit, valued at $200, was taken overnight while the car was parked at the resident’s home.
Anyone with information about these crimes is asked to call the Richmond Police Department at 623-1162 or 623-8911.
Click It or Ticket
Richmond police are participating in the nationwide “Click It or Ticket” seat belt use enforcement program this month, Reardon said.
More than 200 law enforcement agencies statewide are participating in the two-week program, which began May 18.
Teenagers and young adults are a special focus for the program, Reardon said, because they are more likely to drive without using seat belts.
