From what I am seeing he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Regardless of the type of knife. If it is true that there was a warrant for him he was going to be picked up no matter what.

There is speculation that he had an outstanding warrant, but no evidence that he did. In fact, the police report about his arrest makes no mention of any warrants.

Given his arrest record, he was also likely on probation... and probably a few probation. When you're on probation for drug dealing, you can be re-arrested for hanging with other drug dealers. I had seen early reports (no longer mentioned any where) that the arresting officers observed him in what appeared to be another drug deal in progress when he started to run away.

I keep seeing this repeated but I can find no major news organization passing it, also I'm having trouble finding a source from even smaller outlets, can you pass one on?
