Man accused of threatening woman with hammer

Tuesday, June 5, 2012

A Jefferson City man is facing multiple charges after he threatened to harm a woman with a hammer and led authorities on a brief chase Sunday morning.

According to court records, Charles Cutchlow, 28, 413 Hutton Lane, is charged with second-degree assault, armed criminal action and resisting arrest.

Jefferson City police said Cutchlow had gotten into an argument with a female at his residence, grabbed a hammer and swung it at her. He reportedly had said he would kill her.

It was also reported that Cutchlow had broken the female’s phones to prevent her from calling police.

The victim was not injured.

Evidence at the scene showed Cutchlow broke parts of the stairs of the home with a hammer along with vertical blinds and pulled off kitchen cabinet doors.

Cutchlow chased the woman out of the house and then got into a vehicle and fled the scene before police arrived.

Cutchlow’s vehicle was located, but he failed yield to officers.

He eventually lost control of his vehicle, crashed and was arrested.

A hammer was found in Cutchlow’s car.

Officers were unable to get a statement from Cutchlow because he was yelling and refused to be processed at the Cole County Jail.

Sounds like a real winner. Women: If a man can't control his anger around you, it will turn on you sooner or later.

If a man says he will kill you, HE WILL KILL YOU. Get out before it is too late. Pack one suitcase and get to a women's shelter. Now. The longer you wait, the more dangerous it is to leave.

These angry guys are just wounded children, but if you make that your problem it will hurt you too. Take your kids and get out now.

Single ladies! Don't look twice at angry, fight-y guys. Watch out for stupid beards/goatees and MMA t-shirts.... telltale signs. You know the signs as well as I do. Don't date angry guys. Put sexual selection to work. DO NOT REPRODUCE WITH THEM. You and your child will regret it.

If you think your man might have anger issues, HE HAS ANGER ISSUES. Get out now.

I think Sequoia is the president of the Real Woman Man Haters Club. LMAO or she has been through some things and if so my apologies for the joke. Just because a man has a goatee or gets angry about stuff doesn't mean he will hit a woman. I get plenty angry at things; hell even my wife. But we have been together 12 yrs and i will punch a wall before i would ever put my hands on a woman. I have two daughters and two sons and i wish a man would put his hands on my daughters because he won't have hands when i am done. And by the same token I wish my boys would put there hands on a girl or woman. I will be first in line to turn them in because a man has no business puttin his hands on a woman

Gee, I thought it was beer-drinking and cowboy boots. Or at least I would if I let my own personal experiences with men color my perceptions. Don't get me wrong, I completely agree, if a guy is the type to lose his temper to the point where he breaks and destroys things - Run, fast and far. But the "look" you describe, I have a problem with. Abusers wear suits and ties too.

I agree. A lot of abusers don't "look" like abusers. And abuse isn't just physical violence. Yelling, running you down, controlling who you see, who you talk to and what you do is all abuse. The fact that this guy smashed the phones is absolutely typical.

I just have a deep, deep hatred for stupid beards. You have two alternatives guys: 1) clean shaven 2) Walt Whitman. Facial hair is all or nothing. Sculpting is whack.

It is obvious we need more hammer regulation.

Is that an automatic hammer, a semi-automatic hammer, or an "assault style" hammer?

Hammers don't kill people, carpenters kill people with hammers.

This is true. The hammer did not kill anyone. Someone USED a hammer to kill someone.

I've dated women with beards, but they were not angry. I think that happens after you get married.

I wonder if he "only" had a hammer, and that made everything look like a nail to him.

1) Sure would like to know what SHE said or did to him to "MAKE" him lose his temper like that. 2) Clearly, she "can't touch this" and it was "hammer time" 3) Did the police send the hammer to the lab to see if it was a match to the hammer used in the alleged incident? 4) Jack, Ball-Peen, or Claw? 5) If had a hammer, it would have looked like Charles'. 6) “It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.” - Emily Dickenson 7) What Would Stanley Kirk Burrell do? 8) Armand Hammer was on the board of directors for the company that makes Arm & Hammer, however, the brand name Arm & Hammer was already being used 31 years before Armand Hammer was born. Armand on the other hand was named after the Arm & Hand symbol of the Socialist Labor Party of America. Kind of like that kid named Adolf.

And that's the rest of the story....say's who?
