The witnesses retreated and police were contacted. Police arrived on scene to find the driver of the Silverado in the roadway holding a knife. The driver was asked if he was ok and stated no. The two officers on scene ordered the man to drop the knife as he began to advance towards one of the officers. Police gave repeated commands for the male to drop the knife and he did not comply. One of the officers was retreating from the male as the male advanced towards him. </p>
