Upon further investigation police learned the matter was merely a verbal altercation, however, one male was arrested at the scene on an outstanding warrant.

Later Saturday evening, at approximately 10:36 p.m., a caller reported seeing a 15-or-16-year-old male in the parking lot of the 7/11 Convenience Store with a knife taped to the end of a long stick.
