A man armed with a serrated knife confronted another man inside a Proctor residence, threatened him and stabbed photographs of children while pacing through the home, according to the complaint.
Kewuan Darnell Henderson, 33, faces four felony charges in Saint Louis County District Court: two counts of first-degree burglary, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and threats of violence.
According to the complaint, the victim told Proctor police that on October 23, 2026, he was staying at a residence in Proctor after being invited by the homeowner, who had left for work early that morning. While in the bedroom, the victim heard a loud noise against a window and saw feet under the door. When the victim opened the door, he saw a man, later identified as Kewuan Darnell Henderson, holding a serrated knife pointed toward his chest.

The victim begged not to be hurt. The complaint states Henderson paced around the house, waving the knife and stabbing photographs of the homeowner’s children. Henderson repeatedly told the victim that he knew who he was and where he worked, and said, “don’t worry, I’ll come find you.” The victim gathered his belongings and left the residence.
The homeowner later told police that Henderson did not have permission to be inside her home.
Henderson is charged with first-degree burglary for entering an occupied dwelling and assaulting a person inside, first-degree burglary for entering an occupied dwelling with a non-accomplice present, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon for threatening the victim with a knife and threats of violence for making statements that put the victim in fear.
The complaint says he has a prior felony conviction.
The charges were filed October 26.
