Asheville man, 41, charged
in attack with pocketknife
Ted William Roberts of Asheville was arrested and jailed on Monday after he allegedly cut a man‘s neck with a pocketknife, according to Asheville police.
Roberts, 41, of 14 Cooper Blvd. was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury.
Roberts used a pocketknife to assault Michael Wayne Tochternman, causing a deep wound to the side of his neck, police said.
UNCA student, 21, arrested
on drug-related charges
UNCA campus police last Sunday arrested a student on possession of a
schedule one controlled substance, possession of marijuana and
possession of drug paraphernalia in Mills Hall.
Wessley Paul Roberts, 21, of Charlotte was arrested about 11:30 p.m.
and later transported for processing on felony charges to the Buncombe
County Detention Facility. He eventually was released on a $2,000
secure bond with a promise to appear in court this past Tuesday.
The arrest occurred after police responded to a call from the Mills
Hall housing staff, reporting a possible odor of marijuana emanating
from the residence hall‘s third floor.
Upon arrival, officer Brandon Hunnicutt determined the odor was coming
from Room 309, where he made contact with Roberts, who consented to a
search of his room.
The scent of marijuana became stronger once he entered the room,
Hunnicutt reported. In lieu of a search, Roberts presented the officer
with a white lock box from a drawer.
The box, which Roberts opened on his bed, contained a bag of 1.04
ounces of a green, leafy substance believed to be marijuana, a glass
pipe, a bag of psilocybin mushrooms, a bottle of Tizanidine pills and a
baggie with bullets.
Roberts told Hunnicutt the pills were muscle relaxants given to him by
a friend — and the ammunition was for a Smith & Wesson handgun he
had left at a friend‘s house in West Asheville. Roberts reportedly said
he was saving the mushrooms for a special occasion.
At that point, Hunnicutt placed Roberts under arrest and transported
him to the campus police station to weigh the alleged illegal
substances. Roberts was then taken to the detention facility.
Hunnicutt later returned to campus and completed an application for a
search warrant for Roberts‘ room. Upon further search, no additional
prohibited items were found.
In other activity, the campus police:
• Investigated a breaking and entering that was reported at Governors Hall at 12:18 a.m. Aug. 26.
The case
involved a male peering into a female student‘s room. The female called
the police, but upon arrival, it was determined that the incident was
the result of a misunderstanding — the male claimed that he had heard
his name called from within the room. No charges were filed.
• Probed a larceny that was reported at 9:15 a.m. last Wednesday at the UNCA Dining Hall.
A woman claimed that her purse had been stolen, but it was later found in the dining hall, police said.
