On Thursday, June 27, 2013, at approximately 4:40 AM, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the 5900 block of Moline Dr. regarding harassment in progress. Deputies were advised that a male was outside 5915 Moline Dr. screaming at a female. Dispatch then advised the male had slashed a tire on a vehicle with a knife and was threatening to kill people.
Upon their arrival, deputies spoke to the victims, Brian Woolsey and Donald Cardin, separately. Both victims stated they heard a female screaming outside their residence and then someone knocking on their door. Woolsey stated he opened the door to a female who stated someone was chasing her. Woolsey stated he allowed the female inside. Once inside, a male subject, later identified as Charles Oldham, walked up the front steps holding a knife in his hands. Woolsey advised he told Oldham to leave. Oldham then stated, “I will get you guys and her tooâ€. At this time, Oldham walked toward Woolsey’s vehicle and stabbed the driver’s side tire with the knife he was holding. Afraid of what Oldham might do next, Woolsey grabbed a baseball bat and Cardin armed himself with a pair of “nunchucksâ€.
Woolsey and Cardin stated they went outside to look at the damage to the vehicle. Woolsey advised this is when Oldham made the statement he would kill both of them. Woolsey stated at this time Cardin hit Oldham over the head with the “nunchucks†causing a laceration to his head.
As deputies were speaking with Oldham, he stated he did not have a knife during the incident. He also continued to yell at Woolsey and Cardin and stated, “If I had a knife I would have killed youâ€.
The female victim left the scene prior to deputies’ arrival and could not be located.
Oldham was transported to Deaconess Hospital by AMR where he was treated for the laceration on his head and a chipped bone in his elbow. Oldham was then transported to the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center where he was booked on several charges.
