Knife Threat in Jefferson City | Jefferson City News

A terrifying domestic standoff erupted in Jefferson City when police responded to a 911 call reporting screams, a struggle, and a knife held to someone’s face. Though both the victim and suspect Elmer G. Wilson initially claimed no physical harm occurred, the victim later came forward with a harrowing account: Wilson dragged them by the hair, pressed a knife to their neck, threatened to stab and kill them, and covered their mouth and nose. Wilson was arrested and charged with Armed Criminal Action, Third-Degree Domestic Assault, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon — all stemming from that chilling incident. This case underscores the critical importance of speaking up, even when fear is overwhelming. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
