DETROIT LAKES — Callie Marie Kohler, 49, of rural Detroit Lakes has been charged in Becker County District Court with felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor domestic assault.

According to court records, on April 13, she was allegedly arguing with a romantic partner outside her residence, went inside to get a knife, came back outside and came at the man, pointing the knife in a threatening manner and following him.

Kohler left the scene after the man called 911, but a deputy located her a short time later. She said the knife was under her purse, and the deputy seized the weapon. She admitted to having the knife during the incident and running towards the man, but said she never was going to stab him and only wanted to scare him.

On April 14, bail or bond with no conditions was set at $15,000, or at zero under standard conditions of release, including no violations of a domestic abuse no-contact order. Her next court appearance is June 5.
