A local man was arrested Monday after threatening several police officers with a raised hatchet, according to court documents. Jose Orozco, 35, was charged with assault in the first degree for threatening the officers with a deadly weapon, as well as several other charges including possession of a dangerous or illegal weapon. Orozco was contacted by the Grand Junction Police Department in the 400 block of South Avenue after he reportedly threatened staff of a local business. The staff member said he told Orozco, whom he believed was homeless, to leave the property several times, but Orozco refused. When the staff member took out a phone to call the police, Orozco reportedly said if he called the police âit would be for a murder charge,â according to the affidavit. Another staff member was able to report the incident to the police.
