On the evening of April 12th, the Medicine Hat Police Service responded to a disturbance at a residence on the 2600 block of 21 Avenue SE. Upon arrival, officers discovered that the windows of the house had been smashed by the suspect. It was determined that the suspect, a 54-year-old Medicine Hat woman, had assaulted her roommate with a knife and threatened him. Patrol officers successfully negotiated with the suspect and took her into custody without further incident.

The woman was held for a bail hearing and remanded in custody on the following charges:

• Uttering threats (two counts),
• Breach of court order,
• Assault with a weapon,
• Possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.

The roommate was unharmed, and no physical injuries were sustained as a result of this incident.

The accused was held for a Judicial Interim Release hearing and remains in custody pending her next court appearance on April 15, 2025, in Medicine Hat Provincial Court.
