The father believed the teen had stolen money from her mother’s purse earlier in the day. The phone was taken away from the teen and she became angry. The teen sought out at least two large kitchen knives and threatened bodily injury to her parents. The parents fled and secured themselves in a bedroom and dialed 911. The teen then took the knives and began to violently attack the door where her parents fled for refuge. State Police arrived and after approximately 10 minutes of negotiating were able to convince the juvenile to put down the knives. The 16 year old female was arrested for the above listed offenses. |
