Galesburg Man On Home Confinement Pulls Butcher Knife
A man on probation from the Illinois Department of Corrections pulled a butcher knife inside his home on two other residents Thursday according to Galesburg Police.

Police say they responded to an incident on 133 Blaine Avenue at 1:34 Thursday for what was described as a domestic disturbance.

They say the two female residents inside the home were asking 26 year old Bradley Earl Mills to leave. Mills was under home confinement, wearing a bracelet issued by the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Records indicate Mills pulled a butcher knife in the home when the three began yelling and arguing, and one resident said the two would get a "bigger guy" to come and get Mills out of the Blaine Avenue address.

In the report Mills is quoted as holding the knife and saying that person quote: "would get cut."

One resident told police she was worried Mills was going to cut all of them. When police arrived on the scene they say Mills asked if he was going to jail.

Mills is detained at the Knox County Jail for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The Galesburg Police say they made a call to the State's Attorney and the state in return issued a department of corrections warrant revoking the probation of Mills.
