McKinley C. Green, 59, of the 700 block of West 19th, was arrested Sunday after officers responded to a report of a domestic disturbance at the 19th Street residence.
Green’s wife told police that Green yelled at her “to order him a pizza,” noting that he had been drinking alcoholic beverages.
The complainant said that when she asked Green not to speak to her in that manner, the argument escalated and he issued a terroristic threat against her and her family, noting that he made the threat while she was speaking with on the phone with 911 dispatchers.
