Suspect pulls knife on man walking dogs

Posted
A homeless man frequently seen walking around Shelbyville is accused of pulling a knife on a man walking his dogs Sunday night on North Main Street.
“I’ll take care of those dogs,” Eddie Ray, 67, allegedly said to the victim while grabbing the knife in front of the Citgo convenience store.
Ray was holding the knife in his right hand when Officer Darrian Lanier arrived.
“I drew my taser to a ‘low ready’ and ordered Eddie to drop the knife,” Lanier said in his incident report. “He did throw the knife on the ground. I then slowly approached Eddie giving him verbal commands to get on the ground. Eddie would not comply.”
Ray eventually sat on the ground at taser point but refused additional orders from Lanier to lie on the ground, the report said. Lanier was able to handcuff Ray.
A charge of aggravated assault was filed. Ray is being held on $4,500 bond.
Vehicles entered
•A man caught allegedly breaking into a truck shortly before noon Friday on North Main Street had earlier vandalized lights in the area, Shelbyville police said.
Officer Josh Graves, responding to a report of a man opening doors on cars at Walgreens, said he found Miguel Angel Quezada, 25, of Quarry Street, getting out of a truck.
Quezada allegedly ran away down East Cedar Street when told to stop by Graves, eventually being stopped by a fence and taser shot.
The truck’s owner said Quezada had removed its radio and placed it into a backpack, which had been left behind.
Surveillance video from Elite Physical Therapy, North Main Street, showed a man positively identified by Officer Jerry Lawrence as Quezada had broken a lawn chair and thrown rocks at a security camera and exterior light behind the building between 1-2 a.m. last Tuesday. The impact knocked the camera to the ground.
Quezada was charged with auto burglary, resisting stop/frisk/halt/search, vandalism, and violation of probation. He was held on $14,500 bond.
•Another similar but unrelated incident was in progress in the same area around the same time as the truck burglary.
Two Manchester residents have been charged with breaking into an unlocked vehicle behind Direct Insurance, North Main Street.
Surveillance footage shows Daniel Cunningham, 29, taking a purse from the vehicle around 11:30 a.m. Friday. Police found the purse in the possession of Arreall Gyna Lawhorn, 33, of the same Manchester address as Cunningham. Cunningham was charged with auto burglary and both were charged with theft of property.
Cunningham was held on $3,500 bond and Lawhorn on $1,000 bond.
Thefts
Items were reported stolen in other areas of Shelbyville and Bedford County as well, according to law enforcement reports.
•A lockbox was stolen Saturday night from a home in the 300 block of Bell Buckle-Wartrace Road. A window was broken to gain entry, a Bedford County Sheriff’s Office report said.
•Two cell phones sent by FedEx to an East Bomar Court residence weren’t received, their owner told police Friday.
Their owner was told by the cell phone provider another, unknown person at the home signed for the phones.
•Approximately half a tank of gasoline was siphoned from a vehicle at a Green Lane apartment complex between midnight Wednesday morning and mid-afternoon Friday.
Homeless charged
Two homeless people face charges after weekend incidents.
•Napoleon Dwight Scales, 26, said by police to be homeless, was charged with criminal trespassing Friday after allegedly panhandling customers at Speedway, Madison Street.
Scales had been trespassed from the property earlier. He was held on $1,500 bond.
