On Saturday, Cumberland Police responded to a Frederick Street business for a report of a male threatening others with a knife.
Upon officer’s arrival a victim directed officers inside the business and advised that Defone Davis had assaulted them. Officers entered the store, located Davis, and detained him. They spoke with a store employee and learned that Davis had been in an argument with another individual, but once it turned physical the other individual fled the business. Davis then is said to have approached the employee and threatened them while displaying a knife and assaulted another individual.
