Alleged knife threat

John E. Davis, 48, Pullman, was arrested on a charge of second degree assault Friday after he allegedly threatened the manager of Palouse Treasures in Pullman. According to the arrest report, the manager said she discovered the suspect going through the dumpster at Palouse Treasures. She said she told him of the store policy of not allowing people to rummage through the dumpster when the store was closed, and Davis turned and pulled out a knife and walked in her direction and said “so now you’re open.” The manager said she went into the store, locked the door and called police.
