ORIGINAL STORY:
IDAHO FALLS — A local woman has been charged with felony aggravated assault for allegedly trying to stab a family member.
Police reports show at about 10:30 p.m. Friday, Lylliana Alvarado, 21, was arrested by Bonneville County Sheriff deputies after causing a disturbance at a local home.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Alvarado became upset after a family member would not let her stay at their house. The home’s occupants alleged Alvarado had been using drugs, and as a result, she was not welcome in the home.
During an argument that followed, Alvarado allegedly grabbed a red Milwaukee brand razor knife from her pants and threatened to kill a family member who lived at the home.
Another family member disarmed Alvarado before deputies arrived. Deputies arrested Alvarado and took her to the Bonneville County Jail, where she remains held on $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 11.
Although Alvarado is charged with a crime, it does not necessarily mean she committed it. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
If convicted of felony aggravated assault, a judge could order Alvarado to spend up to five years in prison.
