Galesburg Police around 1:40 this morning (September 23rd) responded to the apartments in the 2700 block of Springer Road after a female reported being threatened with a knife by another female. Less than two hours prior, officers had responded to a residence in the 600 block of Brown Avenue regarding the same 26-year-old female subject who refused to leave a male’s residence and was arrested for Trespassing and Disorderly Conduct. Now the female was at her apartment and refused to let another female inside to retrieve her cell phone. The 26-year-old woman appeared to be intoxicated, according to police reports and was again very uncooperative with police. It’s unclear what caused the dispute. Galesburg Police have had numerous encounters with the female suspect and her extended family on a weekly basis in recent months. A witness was able to confirm the woman threatened the other woman with a kitchen knife and threatened to kill her. The female suspect was taken into custody and transported back to the Knox County Jail. She was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.
