Tempe police reported the following incidents Friday:
A 23-year-old Tempe man was arrested April 30 on the 1500 block of East Southern Avenue on suspicion of marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession, according to a police report.

The women told police that the man then slashed the knife at them and that they were worried for their safety, police reported.
Police were unable to locate the man at that time, according to the report.
On May 1, officers found the man sleeping in the back patio of another woman's apartment, police reported.
He was transported to the Tempe City Jail, where he was booked and held to see a judge.
