A SHOW OF KNIVES

7/3, Gallup

A Vander­wagen man is facing aggravated assault charges after he reportedly threatened a number of people in the downtown walkway area on July 3.

Jesse Fred, 34, was arrested after he reportedly pulled out a knife and threatened Gabriel Curley.

It began about 3:42 pm when Gallup Police Officer Steven Peshlakai was waved down by a woman who said a man had a knife. She pointed him out, and Peshlakai went into the Dollar General and met with Gabriel Curley.

Curley said he had a knife but it was on his belt loop. He said a man pulled a knife on him and pointed to a man who was standing across the street. That man was Jesse Fred.

Peshlakai said the police had received a number of reports throughout the day of Fred harassing and threatening people in the walkway.

Curley said Fred was harassing him at his home on South Second Street, and Curley finally told him to leave. Fred continued to refuse to leave, said Curley, and finally threatened to stab him and scatter his pieces around town.

At that point, Curley said Fred pulled a folding knife out of his pocket. He also said he pulled out his knife, which was attached to his belt and told him to do something. Fred eventually walked away.

When he talked to Fred, he said Curley pulled out a knife on him. When he was questioned, Fred did not have a knife on him.

Peshlakai then went and talked to Gabriel Curley’s father, James, who said he saw Fred pull out a knife from his front pocket. At that point, Fred was arrested for aggravated assault.
