A Thanksgiving Day argument at an Upstate New York motel ended with a man pulling a knife, fleeing the scene, and later being arrested with drugs and stolen credit cards, police said.

Troopers in St. Lawrence County were called around 11:15 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 27, to the Clearview Motel on US Route 11 in Gouverneur for a trespass complaint, according to New York State Police.

Investigators determined that 28-year-old Timothy Fadden, of Gouverneur, and another person were involved in a verbal dispute when Fadden brandished a knife and made threatening comments, police said. He left the area before officers arrived.

Troopers and members of the Gouverneur Village Police Department searched the area and later located Fadden, who was taken into custody.

During the arrest, Fadden was found with narcotics and several credit and debit cards belonging to another person, police said. The cards were tied to an active case being handled by the Gouverneur Police Department.

Fadden was processed at SP Gouverneur and arraigned in Town Court. He was released under the supervision of probation.
