ST. CLOUD -- A woman with an Apple Valley address was picked up on an arrest warrant after an incident where she is accused of attacking a man with a knife in Waite Park.

Twenty-five-year-old Tinika Crockett is charged with 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and 5th-degree assault causing fear of bodily harm or death.

Police were called to an apartment complex back on May 9th for a knife complaint. Officers learned a man had gone to St. Cloud Hospital for treatment of a knife wound.
