Incidents involving alleged threats against women landed two men in jail earlier this week.

Knife And Fork

Charles Llewellyn Savage, 33, 102 Hampton Ave., Union, is charged by the Union Public Safety Department with criminal domestic violence.

The incident report states an officer was dispatched Monday morning to a residence at 110 Axel St. in response to a domestic problem. Upon arrival the officer found Savage cutting grass and asked him if there had been an argument earlier. Savage said yes, explaining the victim had sent him a text message and when he came over she started arguing with him. He said he asked for some scissors which she gave him and he used them to cut some string and then started mowing the lawn. Savage said he didn’t know the victim had called the police.

The officer then spoke to the victim who said Savage had come over cursing and knocking on the door asking for a pair of scissors to cut some weedeater string. The woman said she opened the door and was going to give the scissors to Savage when he grabbed the door, came inside, grabbed a kitchen knife and fork and backed her up against a wall with the knife pointed at her. She said she feared for her life and that finally Savage threw down the knife and fork and went outside. It was then she called the police.

Questioning Savage again, the officer asked him if he had gone inside the building and was told yes. He then asked Savage if he had grabbed a knife and pointed it at the victim and was told no. Despite his denial, Savage was placed under arrest for criminal domestic violence and transported to jail.

Phone Threats

Jimmy Dean Davis Sr., 47, 208 Long Twelve, Union, is charged by the public safety department with violation of an order of protection and criminal domestic violence.

The incident report states an officer was dispatched April 22 to a residence at 706 Lakeside Drive in reference to harassing voice messages. When the officer arrived he spoke with the victim who told him Davis started calling around 9 a.m. that day leaving threatening voice messages stating he was going to blow her brains out. The victim said this caused her to fear for her life. She said Davis continued to call throughout the day leaving messages until just after 9:30 p.m.

The officer advised the victim to keep the messages saved on her phone and he recorded the messages also. He then went to Davis’ residence and advised him to have no more contact with the woman. He then went back to Lakeside Drive where the woman told him she had an active order of protection against Davis. She didn’t have a copy of the order but the officer subsequently confirmed the existense of the order which was granted on Oct. 23, 2009, and remains in effect until Oct. 23 of this year.

Incidents

The following incidents are being investigated by the public safety department:

Vehicle Damaged

A man parked his car in front of his house Sunday night and when he came out the next morning he found $600 worth of damage had been done to the vehicle.

The victim told the responding officer he parked his gold 2007 Chrysler 300 in front of his residence at 221 Haskel St. around 9:30 p.m. Sunday. There was not damage to the vehicle at that time but the next morning around 7:30 a.m. his mother was coming out of the house and noticed the vehicle had been scratched on all sides, the trunk, hood and roof with what appeared to be a sharp object.

More Scratches

The vandalism of automobiles continued Monday afternoon with $200 worth of damage done to a car parked on East Main Street.

An officer was dispatched to 401 East Main St. where he met with the victim who told him he left his truck in the parking lot around 3:30 p.m. and didn’t notice any damage at the time. When he returned around 5:20 p.m. he went to the passenger side to place his briefcase in the vehicle. It was at that time he noticed two scratches on his white 1999 Chevy 2500 Pickup.
