14-year-old arrested after threatening another teenager with knife

A 14-year-old girl was taken into juvenile detention after threatening another girl with a knife and barricading herself in front of authorities.

The Carver County Sheriff's Office said it received reports Friday evening of a 14-year-old girl threatening to stab a 15-year-old boy and chasing the teen with a knife at a home in Chanhassen, W. 3000 block of West 78th Street.

Police arrived on scene and found the boy had locked himself in a room and saw the girl at the top of the stairs. The girl then left the deputies' sight and allegedly barricaded herself in a bedroom. The officers then escorted everyone else in the house, including the victim of the threats, outside to safety.

Authorities said they tried to negotiate with the girl for 40 minutes, even getting her to open the bedroom door. However, deputies say she refused to comply with verbal commands.

Deputies then used pepper balls, a projectile that releases a stream of gas similar to pepper spray, to saturate the room. The girl came out of the room and was taken into custody without further incident. A knife was found on site.

The girl was taken to a medical center for evaluation and, after being cleared, was transported to the Carver County Juvenile Detention Center. She was convicted of second-degree assault, threats of violence and domestic violence.

She is currently detained in court.
