The caller told dispatch that a man was beating his dog and had allegedly threatened the 911 caller.<\/p>\n<p>The caller, Aliyah Perez, told Jewell that she saw a man \u201cpunching and kicking\u201d a gray and white pit bull. When she and her neighbors told the man to stop, he yelled at her, approaching her with a sharp item and saying he was going to \u201cstab her in her fat stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Resident Heidi Brugger, who witnessed the incident, said she was walking on Montezuma Avenue when Perez approached her and told her to go inside because there was a \u201cdangerous\u201d man with a knife.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sgt. Kurtiss Baumgartner informed Jewell that he had contacted a man, identified as Sidney Martinez, who matched the suspect\u2019s description. He asked that another officer respond because the situation had \u201cescalated quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Jewell arrived, he said Martinez was agitated and screaming at officers. The dog reportedly tried to bite them.<\/p>\n<p>Baumgartner said Martinez also tried to walk away from officers and tried to fall to the ground during his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSidney stated that he did not have a knife, and he only patted his dog on the butt,\u201d Jewell said.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez was taken to the Montezuma County Detention Center on suspicion of menacing, obstructing a peace officer and cruelty to animals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>apparently tried to bite officers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[21,168,28,60,29,51],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-25714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cortez","tag-crime","tag-headlines","tag-montezuma-county","tag-newsletter","tag-police"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25714"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25714\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79061,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25714\/revisions\/79061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25714"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=25714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
