Robert A. Chase, 45, was charged with threatening an 11-year-old boy with a
knife in Madison, Wis. The boy was watching Chase play basketball with another
adult when the opponent accused Chase of “traveling” (taking steps without
dribbling the ball). To seek an impartial opinion, Chase asked the boy, but the
boy agreed that Chase had traveled. Chase then allegedly grabbed the boy, held a
knife to his throat, and asked, “Now. Did I travel?”
