CLARKSTON — A 34-year-old Lewiston man is facing charges of second-degree assault, felony harassment and disorderly conduct for allegedly threatening to kill a person at Walmart.
According to court documents, Kiely T. Yocum allegedly approached a car parked at the Clarkston store, and told the occupant to leave or “he would slice his throat.” Yocum also is accused of pinning the man with his vehicle during the altercation.
Three other individuals said Yocum was acting aggressively at the store entrance and making threats to stab them. He was arrested Friday by Clarkston police.
Yocum, who is being held in the Asotin County Jail on a $50,000 bond, plans to hire his own attorney, according to court documents. He will be arraigned Monday in Asotin County Superior Court.
Chief Deputy Prosecutor Curt Liedkie is handling the case on behalf of the state.
