ALBERT LEA, Minn. – A 24 year old Albert Lea man accused of threatening two people with a knife has been sentenced to nearly two years in prison. Jose Adan Mendoza III, was arrested on March 2, 2020, and charged with second-degree assault and threats of violence, after police say he went to an Albert Lea home wielding a butcher knife, pointing it at them and saying “I will kill you.” Mendoza pleaded guilty earlier this year to second-degree assault. He was sentenced Friday to 21 months in prison.
