A Tullytown woman fond of showing her knives off in an alarming way was charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault with intent to cause serious bodily harm, reckless endangerment, terroristic threats and related offenses connected to an early summer attack, police say in Levittown.
Bristol Township Police said, they were dispatched at approximately 11:47 p.m., on June 16 to the 30 block of Jester Lane for the report of a known subject, who made entry into a residence house and was threatening the residents with a knife.
Police met with the first victim, a male who reported the known subject, Emily Watts, 29 of Tullytown, left right before police arrived. The victim said he was in his first floor bedroom playing video games when he heard someone pounding on his bedroom door. When he opened the door, he saw Watts standing there with a large pocket knife in her hand. She began screaming at him about giving her money owed to her, said in the affidavit.
The victim said, Watts began thrusting the knife at him, attempting to stab him. He quickly shut the door and she continued to stab at him through a small opening in the doorway. He was able to get the door completely closed and as she attacked the door with her knife, she kept screaming she was going to kill him, said police.
Watts eventually left after being confronted by another male resident of the house. She went outside to the side of the yard, smashing a window with the knife, causing the window to break The first victim said he was sitting on his bed when the glass shattered, falling all over the bed.
