Pine Haven man charged with aggravated assault

A Pine Haven man has been charged with aggravated assault and bound over to District Court after allegedly pulling a knife on a person who was attempting to make him leave a local bar.

On December 8, a Crook County Sheriff’s Office deputy was dispatched to a bar in Pine Haven for a disturbance involving a weapon.

The suspect was later identified as Todd Allen Wiseman according to his driver’s license.

According to court reports, Wiseman was asked to leave the bar after vomiting on the floor. Upon exiting, he allegedly remained outside on the property and urinated on the outdoor furniture.

Wiseman was allegedly again asked to vacate the property and an attempt was made by a representative of the establishment to escort him from the premises.

According to court reports, Wiseman then became physical with the representative and put his hands in his pants pocket. The representative, fearing Wiseman may be reaching for a gun, allegedly pushed him away.

The representative and a patron of the bar reported that Wiseman retrieved a folding blade knife from his pocket and brandished it at them. The two were able to wrestle Wiseman to the ground and contain him until law enforcement arrived.

Both witnesses stated that Wiseman had a strong grip on the knife and they had “extreme difficulty” removing it from his hand.

Wiseman has been charged with aggravated assault and battery, a felony punishable by up to ten years of incarceration.
