GP Police Arrested Woman after Attempted Assault with Chair and Knife
Grants Pass Police were called out to the MINT Navigation Center where a woman was causing a physical disturbance Tuesday afternoon.
At 2:41 p.m., dispatch was notified of a woman swinging and throwing a metal chair at the caller and another victim in the 218 Redwood Highway facility.
The chair hit the victim, and the caller said the suspect brandished and began swinging a silver folding knife, attempting to stab them. The suspect then ran towards the Lucky Lizard at 261 Rogue River Highway, swinging the knife at a motorcyclist and a FedEx driver delivering packages.
The suspect barricaded herself inside the Lucky Lizard, where officers tracked her down and identified her as Kirsten Sparacino.
Officers took Sparacino into custody and lodged her in the Josephine County Jail for Second Degree Attempted Assault, and two counts each of Menacing and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.
