Police arrested 27-year-old Kristoffer Augustine on Saturday night after a confrontation in his dad’s car.
Captain Paul Forrester tells KSAL News that 58-year-old Michael Augustine gave his son a ride to a home in the 400 block of S. 10th to load some property for a female friend.
Kristoffer then took the 2016 Kia Optima for a short errand and returned with a flat tire.
The two reportedly got in the car again, this time Krisfoffer pulled a knife out and told his dad, “I could just kill you now.”
His dad exited the vehicle and Kristoffer was arrested a short time later at an apartment complex in the 700 block of Fairdale.
