EIGHT INCH BUTCHER KNIFE - A Clifford man has been charged with brandishing a dangerous and deadly weapon. A St. Albans police officer thought the man was going to attack him Saturday with an 8-inch butcher knife.
Jimmy Lee Pettry, 36, was charged after a St. Albans Patrolman responded to a call of a man complaining that his friend was in his apartment waving a butcher knife.
Pettry opened the door, holding the knife over his head, police allege.
The patrolman believed he was about to be attacked. He grabbed Pettry's wrist and neck and, with help from another officer, forced Pettry to the floor.
