Dubuque Man Arrested For Threatening A Man With A Knife

Authorities say a man threatened to cut another man’s “heart out” before throwing a knife at him outside of Dubuque. 66 year old Richard Hos of  Dubuque was arrested at 11 p.m. Monday near his residence on charges of assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, first-degree harassment and fourth-degree criminal mischief. A report says that Dubuque County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded at about 10 p.m. Monday to the residence of 42 year old Jesse Birch of Dubuque. Birch said Hos cut the seat of Birch’s motorcycle while it was parked in front of Birch’s residence and then confronted Birch with the knife in the driveway. Hos then told Birch, “I’m going to cut your heart out.” Birch retreated under a carport, and Hos threw the knife at him. Surveillance camera footage shows Hos throwing the knife.
