Man Charged With Threatening Man With A Steak Knife Over Money

MARLBOROUGH, MA—A neighbor called police after hearing a fight in the driveway next door, leading to an arrest of a man who allegedly flashed two steak knives at another man, demanding money.

On Sunday, Oct. 21, around 1:43 p.m., police responded to a disturbance at 76 Rice St., where two Hispanic men were reportedly fighting in the front lawn. The victim said that Irbis Monrroy, 30, Marlborough, had come into the room holding two steak knives and pointed them at him, said police.

The argument, according to police, started over Monrroy being angry that the victim allegedly owed him $500, and he swung the knife close to the victim, saying, "Give me my $500 or I'm going to kill you."

The victim got scared, ran outside, and when the fight continued in the driveway, a neighborhood called police. Police found the two steak knives on a wall in the yard in the neighbor's driveway.

Irbis A. Monrroy, 30, Main Street, Marlborough, was arrested and charged with threat to commit crime, assault to murder/armed, assault with a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct.
