Adair County: Witness says Stuart man made threats with a knife

Andrew M. Irons, 29, of Stuart, was taken into custody 7:58 a.m. Dec. 14, in Stuart on two Adair County warrants. The first warrant charges Irons with harassment, first degree and two counts of assault while displaying a dangerous weapon. The second warrant charges Irons with violation of probation.

According to an Adair County report, at approximately 12:29 a.m. Nov. 23, an assault in progress was reported on Park Street in Stuart. Officers observed a male, identified as Irons who asked them for help. He was bent over, with blood dripping from his face in the yard. Irons went into his residence with officers while waiting for EMS to arrive. At this point officers were able to see a laceration above his eye that was actively bleeding and smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Irons and a female in the residence.

Both Irons and the female told officers Irons’ had been in a fight with another male, who had beat Irons up. While officers were speaking to them, the male pulled up to the front of the residence and was detained for officer safety.

While officers continued to investigate, Irons was heard yelling at EMS personnel. Irons is known by officers to become agitated and aggressive when he has been drinking. Attempts were made to calm him down, but due to his intoxication level, they were unsuccessful.

A third party, a juvenile, told officers he and the other male were at Irons residence after Irons had invited them over to hang out. Irons got upset, began yelling at the other male and told them both to leave. A confrontation ensued in the kitchen where Irons grabbed a knife from a drawer and told the male that it would be the last time he left breathing.

Eventually the juvenile was able to get the knife away from Irons and the other male hit him above his left eye, knocking him to the ground. A short fight ensued before the juvenile and other male left to de-escalate the situation. They returned after seeing law enforcement at the residence.

The other male gave a similar account of the events. Irons, who refused any medical care, was asked multiple times for a statement but was ultimately uncooperative.

Due to his level of intoxication and his injuries, officers allowed his to stay at his residence in the care of the female there.

According to a Department of Correctional Services report, Irons was convicted Nov. 21 for harassment, second degree and attempted burglary third degree. He was granted a deferred judgement on both counts with two years of probation imposed. The incident Nov. 23 is an alleged violation to his probation.

Irons was transported to the Adair County Jail where he was released from after posting a total bond of $9,000 cash or surety.
