He told police that while he was in the apartment, a male pulled out a syringe and asked if he wanted to try methamphetamine. He told the man he doesn’t “mess with drugs” because he’s an expecting father.

When he refused, the man pulled out a switchblade knife and put it to the side of the man’s torso, the report said. After using methamphetamine, the man immediately felt sick. He left the apartment, fell down the stairs and was picked up by a friend in the parking lot.
