At 9:07 p.m., Charles Parker's mother called 911 to report her son had a knife and had stopped taking his psychiatric medication. Five Port Jervis officers arrived on scene and confronted Parker, who was allegedly brandishing a kitchen knife. Parker refused orders to put the knife down and "charged" at officers while pointing the knife in their direction, police said. The officers reportedly tasered Parker and then shot and killed him.
