A 46-year-old Carson City woman faces a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon and two misdemeanor battery charges after allegedly chasing her husband with a knife.
The woman was arrested Nov. 2, 12:52 a.m. in the 2900 block of Kitchen Drive. Carson Now is withholding the name of the woman to protect the identity of a 15 year-old-daughter, who was pushed by her mother, and another daughter who used a smart phone camera to video the incident.
According to the Carson City Sheriff's Office arrest report, deputies were called to the location and spoke with the husband outside who advised that his wife was drunk and chased him with a knife. Officers made contact with the woman and, after several commands, the woman surrendered and was cuffed.
The husband told deputies that his wife came home intoxicated and angry and began an argument, at one point grabbing a knife and chasing him around the house. Two daughters in the house, one identified as being 15, said they watched their mother chase their father around the house and saw her punching him on his back, the arrest report states.
The mother then stopped and turned toward the 15-year-old, pushing her to the ground. Another daughter, whose age was not given, recorded the incident via cell phone video which collaborated the story given by the man, the arrest report states.
The video showed the woman stabbing the dining room table, putting down the knife, punching the man and and then throwing the 15-year-old to the ground, the arrest report states. Bail: $26,274.
