A homeless man was arrested after trying to flee from Lubbock Police officers in Central Lubbock.
Mandra McCutchin, 36, faces charges of aggravated robbery, evading arrest, criminal trespassing, criminal mischief, and possession of a dangerous drug, jail records said.
Police records indicated a radio call to the 2200 block of Avenue T for a robbery on October 12.
An officer located McCutchin, who was running in the area of 25th Street and Avenue S.
“[McCutchin] was located hiding inside a residence” at the 1900 block of 26th Street, the police report said.
Police said McCutchin had gone into another backyard and broken the gate in an “attempt to evade capture.”
According to LPD, a woman who McCutchin had been dating was at a friend’s house earlier that morning, when McCutchin arrived and “began to yell at her.” The police report said she asked McCutchin for “the money he owed her on a vehicle that they had purchased together.” She told police McCutchin “grabbed her by the front of the shirt and began pulling her out of the restroom.”
The woman told LPD McCutchin “began to hit her in the head with his fist.”
At one point, police said McCutchin “pulled out a pocket knife and said, ‘B***h, I will kill you.'”
The police report indicated McCutchin chased the victim out of the residence “with the pocket knife in his hand.”
She said McCutchin grabbed her wallet and stole money and a cell phone. Police recovered the phone, but not the cash.
McCutchin told officers it was “only a disagreement” between him and his girlfriend, and the officer “had no right to stop him,” the report said.
He said he was “sleeping at a friends [sic] house and she came in and started hitting” him.
McCutchin denied hitting the woman.
LPD located the bike McCutchin was believed to be riding, as well as cigars, a cell phone case, a “metal ‘one hitter’ pipe,” and a Ziplock baggie containing six pills. The responding officer believed those pills to be ecstasy, the report stated.
LPD said McCutchin had a cut on his hand.
He was booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center on October 12. His bonds totaled $19,000.
