A Summerfield woman was arrested after allegedly using a knife to threaten a woman locked in a bathroom.
A deputy responded to an aggravated assault involving 37-year-old Samantha Jo Cannova at 14072 SE 42nd Ter., Summerfield, around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to an arrest report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Upon arrival, he met with the victim who stated she was naked inside the bathroom getting ready to shower when she heard Cannova come into the residence. She was yelling that she was going to kill her. The victim heard her punch the bathroom door, as she locked it to protect herself, the report said.
She then heard other people trying to stop Cannova as she stabbed the walls and bathroom door to get to her. The victim feared for her life due to not having anything around to protect herself. She was willing to talk to Cannova in a calm manner to diffuse the situation and contacted law enforcement while in the bathroom. She added that Cannova started the situation because she believed the victim was cheating with her man and playing games, the report said…
