A 19-year-old Grand Junction man who sheriff's deputies say held a knife to an elderly woman's throat and threatened her is being held at the Mesa County Jail in lieu of a $1,000 cash bond, despite the woman telling prosecutors that the man is mentally ill. Cole Arado Johnson was arrested Monday evening in the 500 block of East Valley Drive after a call from Mesa County Adult Protection on behalf of the 72-year-old woman.
