Worcester Man Arrested After Threatening DPW Officer With Knife
Friday, September 15, 2017
Clevon Turner, 27, charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Intimidation of a Witness, and will be arraigned in Worcester District Court.
The victim was not injured.
The Incident
On September 12, at about 10:20 a.m., Worcester Police were sent to the DPW Parking Enforcement Office for a report of a past assault. Upon arrival, police officers spoke with a parking enforcement officer. The DPW employee said that he was on Walnut St and noticed a blue BMW parked in a “no parking” tow zone.
The DPW employee asked the man in the driver’s seat, later identified as Turner, to move the car. Turner said that he was waiting for someone and refused to move. The DPW enforcement officer began typing the car information into his hand-held computer to issue a parking ticket, when Turner became irate and said that things were about to get violent.
Turner exited the car, took out a black switchblade knife with the blade exposed and began walking toward the parking enforcement officer, saying “You gonna tow my car now?” He had the knife pointed at the victim in an aggressive way, and was threatening and taunting him. Turner drove away.
A BOLO was issued with the description of the blue BMW and that of Turner. Another officer saw the car in the area of Hanover Insurance on Lincoln St and stopped it. The officer saw a black knife clipped to Turner’s belt. The victim responded to this location, and identified Turner, who was placed under arrest.
