Police believe a ‘significant amount’ of beer and tequila led to a fight between two friends that ended with one now facing a second-degree felony aggravated assault charge.

Christian John Cinkovich, 45, was having dinner at this friend’s house on Marcy Street Thursday night when he became irritated, belligerent and aggressive and started to argue with his friend, police said.

The argument escalated and Cinkovich got up from the table and punched his friend in the head twice, a court affidavit states.

The court affidavit states that the injured friend, who said he had ringing in his ears after being struck, tried to back into the safety of his kitchen when Cinkovich picked up a bottle and hit him in the head again.

Trying to help his friend who was hurt from being hit, another man at the dinner party jumped in the fight and hit Cinkovich in the back with a frying pan to subdue him, police said.

According to the court affidavit, after Cinkovich was hit with the frying pan, he ran away and jumped on a green bicycle to get away. At this point, someone inside the house called 911.

When police arrived, the man who was hit told police he did not want to press charges against his friend, the affidavit states.

Around 10:30 p.m., police said they were called back out to the home because Cinkovich had come back and walked up to the porch where the friend he had beaten was sitting and holding ice to his face.

When police returned, they said Cinkovich had run away again and could not find him.

Twenty minutes later, police said they were called to the home a third time because Cinkovich had come back with a four-foot long bamboo stick and was swinging the stick and hitting things in the yard.

When police arrived, Cinkovich could not be found, so police called for a K-9 unit to help search for him.  The police, however, did find Cinkovich’s green bicycle.

Police said they waited in the yard for Cinkovich to come back.

Cinkovich wandered back into the yard of his victim about 15 minutes later, police said, and when he saw police officers, he ran away and dove over a fence head first.

According to a court affidavit, Cinkovich started to run away and when officers caught up to him on foot they twice shot him with a stun gun.

Cinkovich was arrested and also charged with evading on foot, a misdemeanor.

Police charged a man who followed a woman to her home and threatened her with a knife on her front porch with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Charles King, 32, allegedly followed the woman as she walked to her home on Poquito Street shortly after midnight Wednesday and tried to get through the front door after refusing to leave.

The victim said King put his foot in the doorway when she tried to shut the door. He then pushed her, causing her to fall back.

Police said the woman and her son-in-law then watched as King pulled out a knife and threatened to cut her up. Luckily, she was able to call 9-1-1 and police arrived shortly after.

By the time police arrived to the home, King had thrown the knife in a bucket

Police said this wasn’t the first time they found the knife of King. About a month earlier, the same cop stopped King for crossing the street against a crosswalk light and found the knife on him.

Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a second-degree felony, and carries a fine up to $10,000 and a minimum of two years in prison.
