Valbuena responded to a residence in the 7700 block of NE Waldo Rd regarding an armed disturbance. Once on scene, deputies met with the victim, who explained the suspect, 35-year-old James Nickell, came to their home earlier in the day and left. He then returned later in the evening and demanded money. Nickell was armed with a baseball bat in one hand, and gestured to his waistband, stating he had a pistol. He threatened to use the gun on the victim and the victimโ€™s dog if he did not get the money. The victim also observed an outline of a firearm under Nickellโ€™s shirt. A witness on scene during the incident stepped in and pushed Nickell out of the residence. The victim then called 911, and Nickell fled the scene. Deputies canvassed the area for Nickell and found him in the area of the 5900 block of NE 78th Ln. After interviewing him, he was arrested. Nickell was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
