WINONA, Minn. – A Winona man was arrested on an accusation that he pulled a knife on another man in an East Third Street bar. Andrew Lee Hensley, 24, denied any threat or pulling a knife, police said, but they arrested him after finding he was carrying a jackknife. The arrest was in a second Third Street bar down the street. This was about 12:30 a.m. The man who called police said Hensley had come up behind him and called hm a rapist and threatened him with a knife. The other man told police that he was scared and responded by telling the assailant that he had a gun and to back off. It was a bluff: He didn’t really have a gun. Even so, he told police, he followed Hensley, who had kept saying he was going to kill him. Police located Hensley in the second bar. They said he denied any assault, any threats and brandishing a knife. Officers said, however, that he found he had a black and silver knife with a folding blade in a pocket.
