Advertiser Staff

A 53-year-old Makiki woman was arrested today for allegedly threatening a police officer with a 12-inch-long kitchen knife.

The woman was arrested at 2:50 p.m. at the Kamehameha IV Road residence of her ex-boyfriend and booked for first-degree terroristic threatening.

She was released pending further investigation at 7:15 p.m.

Police went to the Kamehameha IV Road residence to investigate a domestic argument. The male resident asked police to remove the woman from his residence.

The woman, who was in the bedroom, allegedly lunged at an officer with a knife. Police eventually talked the woman into surrendering.

No injuries were reported.
