A pair of deputies responded to the 800 block of Redway Drive in Garberville on a report of a man threatening others with a knife shortly after 10 a.m., according to a press release. The suspect, later identified as Jesse James Petty, 20, ran from the scene when the officers arrived, said Sgt. Ernie Stewart....
