Woman charged following harassme

“(The manager) reported that McCraw followed her and was threatening her until she walked into (the) apartment,” Ladd wrote in a report. “McCraw stated to (the manager) that she had one foot in the grave and she should go ahead and kill herself, while another female agreed and stated she should kill herself so she didn’t have to do it.”

After the incident, the manager began having chest pains and was transported to the hospital the following day.

McCraw, who was arrested Thursday, was charged with assault and released on $1,500 bond.

Argument leads to knife attack

Responding Friday to a fight at a residence off Kirkland Lane in Greenback, Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Brandon Pesterfield met a male victim.

The victim had a laceration on his hand caused by a knife that Jessica Gilpatrick possessed. Pesterfield found Gilpatrick inside the building, and she claimed a “white knife with a long blade” was beside the bed.

“I asked the offender what happened, to which she stated her and the victim had been arguing all day and he cut off her power,” Pesterfield wrote in a report. “She stated she went up to the door and had the knife for intimidation and laid it down on the porch railing.”

The victim allegedly came through the door, at which point Gilpatrick grabbed the knife off the railing “due to being afraid of falling back into it.” The victim cut himself after trying to grab Gilpatrick’s arm.

“I spoke with the victim who stated the offender came to the back door and began yelling and screaming,” Pesterfield wrote in a report. “When he went to the back door she was standing on the porch with the knife in hand. The victim stated he reached out for the object and that’s when it cut his hand.”

Gilpatrick, 35, Greenback, was charged with aggravated assault and held on $5,000 bond.
