Rock Hill, South Carolina police arrested a 43-year-old woman Monday after she reportedly pulled a kitchen knife on her husband over a radio volume dispute. The husband allegedly asked his wife, who had been drinking, to turn the volume of her boom-box down. When she failed to listen, he turned the music down himself.
This was a big mistake. The man reported to police that as he left the bedroom, his wife grabbed his shirt and began slapping him causing him to retreat to the kitchen. Following her husband into the kitchen, the wife unsheathed a kitchen knife and threatened him; he responded by retreating to the bedroom and barricading himself inside.
The woman denied allegations of abuse. She claimed that they both were drinking, and he was “acting crazy” causing her reaction. She denied the origin of the dispute was as a result of the loud music.

Six young people were arrested for a Rock Hill underage drinking party shortly after midnight last Saturday. Deputies received a complaint about a suspicious vacant vehicle parked in front of a house; when they walked down the driveway they saw several people running away to the back of the house.
When the police went to back of the house, they could see alcohol on the table through the glass doors, the report states. The officers then went to the front of the house where they made contact with the residents. Eventually arrests were made and as a result one of the people became belligerent.

A 44-year-old SC father admits to encouraging his son to fight a fellow teenager, when he took his 14-year-old son to a church parking lot to settle a fight with a 13-year-old boy this past Monday. The conflict began on Facebook and escalated into violence when the two boys met for a face-off at the United Pentecostal Church in Rock Hill, SC.
The 13-year-old’s mother was apparently there watching; however, she maintains that she did not bring her son to fight, but drove to the parking lot on her own volition, after hearing her son had come to the Church to fight. As the altercation became more intense, the father of the 14-year-old got out of his truck, and began waving a gun in the air. The man claims that he was then attacked by the 13-year-old boy, along with a group of other teens that had been watching the fight. The man then got back in his truck, rammed into the car of the 13-year-old boy’s mother, and sped away.
The man was subsequently arrested, and charged with injury to property. The 13-year-old was also charged with hitting the man’s truck with a crutch.

Police were forced to use a stun gun on an irate Rock Hill woman last Tuesday. The report states that the Rock Hill woman was grabbing at the officers and attempting to kick another person after her car was involved in a collision on Eden Terrace.
Officers were simply responding to a call in connection to a crash, when they found the 36-year-old woman walking toward the wrecked vehicles. She was visibly irate and began shouting profanities at the officers as they approached the scene of the crash. The officers told the woman that if she did not stop using profanities in public that she would be arrested, but their warnings were unavailing. As she continued shouting profanities, officers placed the woman under arrest. At that moment she grabbed one officer’s lapel and began to struggle.
The woman also attempted to kick one of the other victims of the crash during the struggle. Police used a stun gun on the woman’s right side and placed her in handcuffs. She was treated at Piedmont Medical Center before being taken into custody at the Rock Hill jail.
According to the Rock Hill Police report, the woman was arrested and charged with resisting arrest, public disorderly conduct and damage to city property.
