Two arrests made after Norfolk domestic disturbances

NORFOLK, Neb. – Norfolk Police responded to a pair of potential threats in Norfolk residences over the weekend.

On Saturday, officers were called to a residence in the 400 block of Omaha Avenue for a disturbance. It was reported that a male was at the residence threatening to kill the property owner. While officers were driving to the residence, it was reported that the male had brandished a knife.

When officers arrived, they detained the man who was identified as Troy D. Chaney, 40, of Pierce, and searched him, reportedly locating a pocket knife from him. Several witnesses at the scene identified it as the knife that he allegedly brandished while threatening the property owner. Chaney was arrested for terroristic threats and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

According to court documents, Chaney had been released from the Madison County Jail on Friday after posting bond on an unrelated charge. 

On Sunday morning, Norfolk Police responded to a residence in the 700 block of Koenigstein Avenue for a protection order violation. Officers had contact with the reported victim who stated that she had been assaulted by Victor M. Aviles Carreno, 30, of Norfolk, and that she currently has a protection order against him.

She explained the circumstance to the officers and they verified that the protection order was valid. Officers located Aviles Carreno in the 400 block of S. 4th Street and spoke to him about the incident. Following the interview, he was placed under arrest for a domestic abuse protection order violation.

Both suspects were housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
