Wiley charged with threatening people with a knife

Posted

Matthew Owen Wiley has been charged after allegedly threatening several people with a knife.

According to court documents, a man reported he was leaving an apartment when a woman ran in yelling that Wiley had a knife.

Wiley raised the knife and walked towards the man, who ran down the stairs to get away.

The man said Wiley was about four feet away from him and believes if Wiley had been closer, he would have hurt him.

Another man reported that he heard the woman yell that Wiley had a knife. He grabbed a pellet gun and opened the front door to find Wiley walking towards him with a large knife.

The man closed the door and moved a couch in front of the door to prevent Wiley from coming in because he thought Wiley was acting crazy.

Another woman said she was downstairs when she heard Wiley yelling about being attacked. She went to the top of the stairs and saw Wiley chasing the first man with a knife that looked like a kitchen knife.

Court documents state that a review of the surveillance video corroborated the reports and it appeared Wiley was the initial aggressor.

Wiley has been charged with three felony counts of assault with a weapon.

He has a small misdemeanor criminal history and a significant mental health history, according to charging documents.

The State has requested bond be set at $25,000.
