Florida woman arrested for throwing knife at boyfriend over $5 payment to another woman

Marathon, FL A 34-year-old woman is in custody after allegedly throwing a knife at her boyfriend during an argument over a mobile payment. Danielle Banks was charged with aggravated battery and resisting arrest after police responded to a 911 call from her boyfriend on Thursday.

Witnesses reported that during the incident, Banks retrieved a knife from the kitchen and threw it at her boyfriend, leading to a cut on his face. Following the altercation, she fled the scene in her vehicle.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent who observed her departure provided assistance in locating Banks. She was subsequently detained by sheriff’s deputies who witnessed her attempt to hide inside her vehicle.

Shooting incident leads to arrest of juvenile with loaded handguns

Utica, NY A shooting incident on the 1200 block of Taylor Ave prompted a police response after a ShotSpotter alert identified gunfire. Officers discovered multiple shell casings outside a home and learned that no injuries occurred despite rounds entering the residence.

Investigators from the GIVE Unit reviewed surveillance footage and identified individuals involved in the incident. A subsequent 911 call on Thursday reported shots fired at the same residence.

Police interviewed the tenants and secured consent for a search of the home. During the search, they located the lower receiver of a handgun, a loaded magazine, and a loaded 9mm handgun similar to what the video depicted.

The juvenile was taken into custody for processing and had previously been found with a loaded handgun this year.

He faces charges of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal possession of a firearm. His guardians have assumed responsibility, and he is scheduled to appear in Oneida County Family Court.

The investigation into the shooting incident from earlier in the week is ongoing.
