A Penn Yan man was taken into police custody after he allegedly threatened a person with a large knife.
In addition to allegedly threatening the person, Erik Hoyt is accused of punching the victim in the head. Police say the 26-year-old admitted to both accusations.
Hoyt was charged with menacing and harassment before being sent to Yates County Jail to await arraignment.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
