Pepper spray and ultimately a police dog were used to take into custody a man who reportedly threatened others with a knife downtown Wednesday, March 11, Eugene police said.

David Glen Clark, 40, was booked into Lane County Jail on suspicion of seven counts of menacing as well as additional charges including unlawful use of a weapon, resisting arrest and third-degree escape, police said.

Clark is also known as David Glen Peek, and court records show he was charged under that name Thursday, March 12, with four felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon.

Officers responded at 8:55 p.m. to 110 W. Broadway after a report of a man chasing and threatening others with a knife, police said in a news release.

Police said the man was “uncooperative,” so officers deployed pepper spray. The man then laid down the knife near his feet but crouched over it, as officers cleared the nearby area of bystanders, police said.

Negotiations for the man to surrender lasted about a half-hour but were unsuccessful, as the man attempted to grab the knife. Police then fired less lethal rounds and the man dropped the knife, then fled south on foot.

“He was immediately challenged by K9 Kuill, which caused him to move back toward officers,” police said in the news release, with officers then able to arrest the man. The dog’s name is pronounced “Quill,” police have said.

Peek, as he’s known in court documents, pleaded guilty April 1 to two counts of unlawful use of a weapon as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, with a third count of the same charge dismissed.

Lane County Circuit Judge Charles Zennaché sentenced Peek to 3½ years in prison, to be followed by two years of post-prison supervision.
