Iowa City Police have arrested a Coralville woman who they say made threats with a knife Tuesday afternoon.

Arrest records indicate 29-year-old Shonda House of Holiday Road was armed with a kitchen knife while at the Town & Campus Apartments on Arthur Street just after 4:45 p.m. She allegedly began arguing with another subject and following him with the knife when a bystander wrestled it away from her. The bystander then went into a nearby apartment, with House following them inside without permission. House then allegedly grabbed a crutch that was inside the residence and began swinging it around.

House is charged with Going Armed With Intent, 2nd Degree Burglary, Assault While Displaying a Weapon, and Use of a Weapon in the Commission of a Crime. If convicted on all counts, she faces a maximum of 19 years in prison.
