Drug deal goes south, turns into armed robbery An apparent marijuana deal led to an armed robbery and fight that left one man injured in the 2100 block of Garnet Avenue around 1 a.m. on Dec. 1, according to police. Investigators said two white men in their twenties were engaging in a marijuana transaction when an argument ensued and one of the men pulled a gun to steal some of the pot. Police said the robber attempted to tie the hands of the pot seller and another man who was inside the apartment when the argument became physical. Two other suspects entered the apartment and the fight moved to the balcony area, where one of the apartment residents was pushed from the balcony, landing below, said police. The suspects fled in a 1999 white Toyota 4 Runner SUV. One victim suffered abrasions and a small bump on his head. The other apartment occupant was not injured. The suspects were described as four Hispanic males, but police did not release any further descriptions. Northern Division is investigating. Man stabbed by unknown attacker; motive unclear Investigators are looking in the stabbing of a man in the 2200 block of Grand Avenue shortly before 9 p.m. on Nov. 22. The victim, described as a 29-year-old Hispanic man, was stabbed at least once in the chest by an unknown assailant or possibly more than one, according to police. The victim’s wife reported the incident when the man stumbled into their home. Police said it was not clear where or why the incident might have occurred, but the case remains under investigation.
