Unlawful Wounding

Police arrested a 22-year-old woman Thursday following a domestic incident. 

A 48-year-old Woodbridge woman reported to police that a known acquainance – Rosheta Warfenia Chase – had forced her way into her residence after being told she could not enter.

The woman told police that when she tried to call the police, Chase allegedly ripped the phone from the wall. Chase allegedly grabbed a knife before pushing the woman against the wall and threatening her. 

Police reports said the woman was able to run from the residence in the 100 block of Gordon Boulevard but Chase followed her.
