On July 20, 2025, at approximately 8:23 PM, our officers responded to a disturbance on Main Street, Veterans Square, involving an individual with a knife. Upon arrival, they found an adult female victim who reported being threatened by a man with a knife.

Thanks to city surveillance system video footage, our investigation revealed that the suspect, Shawn J. Loadholt, engaged in a verbal altercation with the victim, then ran at her with a knife extended in his hand, holding it to her in a threatening manner. Fortunately, bystanders intervened and pulled him away from the victim. Loadholt then discarded the knife, but continued to act in a threatening manner towards the victim.

Our officers obtained an arrest warrant and apprehended Loadholt, charging him with Terroristic Threats, Simple Assault, Disorderly Conduct, and Harassment. He was arraigned by Magistrate Richard Luther and released on $25,000 unsecured bail. Preliminary hearings are scheduled in this matter.

We want to remind everyone that threatening behavior will not be tolerated in our community. If you or someone you know is a victim of a crime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Remember, your safety is our top priority.
