Albuquerque man pulls machete on security officers
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. July 11 2017 A machete-wielding man was captured in Downtown Albuquerque.
According to a criminal complaint, Albuquerque Police officers were doing a ‘tactical plan’ on Saturday, patrolling downtown near 1st and Central due to crime problems in the area.
That’s when a security guard yelled for the officers’ attention, pointing to a nearby Jeffery Kading.
The security guard said Kading pulled a machete on guards late last month. When officers approached Kading, he ran a short distance until giving up and sitting down on a curb.
Kading was arrested for the machete incident, as well as on a warrant for felony drug charges.
Kading will see a judge on Monday.
