Two arrested in knife incident

A man and woman — both of Marathon, Florida — were arrested after an argument with another man that included threats made with a knife. There were no life-threatening injuries reported.

  • Robert Allen Biser, 43, was charged with aggravated assault.
  • Desiree Natasha Downer, 33, was charged with battery, resisting arrest, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The Sheriff’s Office was called to 20th Street at approximately 8:30 p.m. Saturday regarding an incident with a knife.

The investigation showed both suspects attacked the 56-year-old victim following an argument. Biser displayed a knife — which was recovered — and threatened to “stick (the victim) like a pig.” Downer struck the victim in the head, later pulled away from Deputies attempting to arrest her, and was in possession of a pipe with cocaine residue.
