An early morning argument resulted in three counts of aggravated assault on Aug. 28.
At about 2 a.m. near Eighth Street and Prairie Avenue, four Sioux Falls residents who knew each other had “some sort of disagreement” in an apartment complex, public information officer Aaron Benson said Thursday at the police department’s daily media briefing with the Sioux Falls Police Department.
After the dispute, three victims left the apartment, only to return after realizing a backpack was left behind. Benson said at that point, the suspect “produced a knife” and began chasing all three victims out of the apartment building and down a nearby alleyway.
Benson said officers arrived on scene soon after and took 37-year-old Marvin Runs Close into custody.
