She is also alleged to have swung a curtain rod at the victim and threatened to kill the man while holding a knife, the charges state. 

Knife, Bike Pump and Blood Found in Residence

Responding officers found a knife on the floor in the area of the home where the alleged threat took place. They also found a bike pump with blood on it and blood drops and smears in the home, according to the court document. 

Jennings fled from the apartment building on foot but was later located by police and transported to the Olmsted County Jail. 

Court records indicate Jennings has a prior gross misdemeanor domestic assault conviction and two misdemeanor domestic assault convictions. She was convicted in all three of those cases last October. 

Jennings is scheduled to make her first court appearance Tuesday morning.
