Man threatens roommate with pocketknife after argument, Lincoln Police say

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A man was arrested Monday after he threatened his roommate with a pocketknife following an argument, Lincoln Police say.

Around 6:00 p.m., officers were sent to a residence near 25th and J Streets on a weapons complaint.

When officers arrived they spoke to a 51-year-old man who told them that his roommate, 37-year-old Matthew Stinson, had threatened him with a pocketknife after an argument.

Stinson had already left the residence but was later found walking around in the area.

Officers found the pocketknife that matched the description given by the victim on Stinson, Lincoln Police say.

Stinson was then arrested on suspicion of terroristic threats and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
