An 18-year-old student was arrested early Thursday morning for an aggravated assault against a female student in Coronado Residence Hall, 822 E. Fifth Street.
Gary Greenberg, a Coronado resident, pulled a knife on the student and held it to her neck until she told him to put the knife away. The victim told police she was in her suitemate's room with Greenberg and two other people when the incident occurred.
The victim told police that Greenberg pulled the knife when she asked him where he was going when he got up to leave the room. She said he then answered, in a "Jack Nicholson" accent, "You talking to me?", and held the knife to her throat. She said she was not scared because "that was normal behavior for Gary."
The victim reported the incident to her resident assistant, who called the police.
The police found Greenberg a couple of hours later at a nearby doughnut shop. Greenberg admitted to having a knife that fit the description that the victim gave but said he did not remember an incident involving the victim and the knife.
Police found the knife on Greenberg and arrested him. A resident assistant at Coronado told police Greenberg had a history of this kind of behavior and had been involved in other incidents in which he threatened people with a golf club and a hammer. Greenberg gave police permission to search his room and police confiscated another knife, a hammer and a golf club.
Greenberg was taken to Pima County Jail.
