Niagara Falls Police responded to the 1700 block of 17th Street around 10pm on September 7th after reports of a subject with a knife.
Upon arrival, officers spoke with the female complainant who stated that she was home with her boyfriend at 9:30pm when another female who lived in the house became unhinged about the possibility of the complainant's cousins moving into the home since they had been "living in their garage."
The complainant then said the female threatened to kill them if the cousins entered the house and “brought bugs.” The female came out of her room across the hall and began waiving a machete at the complainant and her boyfriend threatening to slice them up.
The complainant was fearful for her life and called 911. While on the phone with police, the female started hitting the staircase with the machete.
Officers found the machete in the living room of their residence and collected it for processing. The female was taken into custody, placed in a patrol vehicle, and transported to police headquarters. She was booked, processed and then released with an appearance ticket.
No further information is available at this time.
