A Boise man is in the Ada County Jail after reportedly threatening another man with a knife and a frying pan.

Police were called to a home on West Boise Avenue near Chrisway Drive about 8:30 Monday night for a reported fight with a knife.

Police say the victim, fearing for his safety, had locked himself in a room and called 9-1-1.

Officers helped the victim get safely out of the home.

They then found Westberry, who appeared intoxicated, in a back room. After investigating, officers say they found evidence the man had used a butcher knife and a frying pan to threaten the victim, who is a friend of his.

Shortly after 10:00 p.m., Westberry was arrested and booked on a felony aggravated assault charge.
