Police were dispatched to the College Ave. T station last week on reports that a woman with a knife was harassing and elderly man with a knife.

Upon arrival, officers learned that the alleged altercation was actually taking place at the Tedeschi Food Mart across the street. There they found a man, Lamont Daughtery, of Boston, and Angelique Smith arguing with another man.

Police intervened and inquired as to what was happening, after securing the knife in question, which was in Daughtery’s bag, according to police.

Smith reportedly told the officers that the man they were arguing with had taken her money into the store to buy her cigarettes because she was too drunk to do so herself. She said that the man came back out of the store without the cigarettes and would not return the money.

The man denied all of this and reportedly told officers that he did not have her money. He also stated that he was never threatened with the knife.

The officers determined that this was nothing more than an argument and advised all concerned to leave the area.

Smith and Daughtery reportedly became very agitated, with Smith insisting that she had been defrauded of her money.

After Daughtery made threatening statements and gestures to the officers he was handcuffed and placed under arrest.

Smith reportedly attempted to interfere with the arrest of Daughtery and she was likewise taken into custody.

Smith was subsequently charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Daughtery was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and violation of city ordinance possession of a dangerous weapon.
