An elderly resident of a Union nursing home is accused of pulling a knife on a worker.

Arthur Zacharia Henderson, 74, of Whitney Place on 107 Cornwell St. was charged Wednesday by the Union Public Safety Department with drawing in affray.

A report said a 47-year-old care-giver at the facility told Officer Mike Gregory that she entered Henderson’s room and smelled cigarette smoke. It is against the rules for a patient to smoke in his room.

The care-giver asked Henderson if he had been smoking and he denied it. The care-giver then saw a pack of cigarettes on the dresser. She put them in her pocket.

Henderson became angry, pulled a small knife out, cursed the care-giver and told her he would kill her.

The care-giver left the room and called 911.

When Gregory arrived, he asked Henderson if he had a knife. Henderson said no. Gregory did a frisk search of Henderson and found a small black and silver-colored knife in his right pants pocket,

Teen-ager arrested

James Earl Mobley, 17, of 207 East Henrietta St., Union was charged Wednesday by the public safety department with disturbing school and, in an unrelated case, trespassing after notice.

According to an arrest warrant signed by School Resource Officer Terry Davis, Mobley disturbed school by threatening another student in a loud and boisterous manner, saying he would “blow his car up.”

Mobley was charged with trespassing after he went on Union Housing Authority property after having been given a written trespassing notice by Officer Eddie Williams.
