Woman Threatens, Chases Husband With Knife

A Norcross woman was arrested earlier this month after she threatened and chased her husband and caretaker with a knife.

According to the police report, around 10 p.m. April 18, the couple arrived home in unincorporated Norcross after going out to dinner. The male caretaker of the couple’s son was at the home when they arrived.

The wife and husband began to argue about a laundry list of things: divorce, how she had been seeing another man in Forsyth County and that she was pregnant with his child.

According to the caretaker, the wife grabbed a kitchen knife and walked into the living room where the two men were. She held up the knife, yelled "I'm going to kill you" to the husband, and then charged him.

According to the caretaker, both the husband and wife suffer from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The woman was placed under arrest for aggravated assault and terroristic threats.
