SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls police just wanted to know if the Watertown man was okay when he threatened them with a knife inside Ruby Tuesday on South Shirley Avenue.

Clemens says when Jackson tried retrieving his knife officers pepper sprayed him and got him handcuffed.
The entire incident happened in the Ruby Tuesday restaurant during the noon hour on Wednesday.
Clemens says Jackson is charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, obstructing and false impersonation. Watertown authorities asked Sioux Falls police to check on Jackson’s wellbeing.
