Juvenile arrested for throwing knife at stepfather

Albert Lea police arrested a 15-year-old boy Tuesday night for allegedly throwing a 12-inch knife at his stepfather at their house on the 1300 block of St. John Avenue.

No one was injured, and the knife reportedly went into the wall six feet away from the stepfather.

Police stated the argument stemmed from the stepfather saying he was going to ground the teenager for not attending school.

The teenager was arrested on a charge of domestic assault, along with a fourth-degree assault on a police officer charge after he allegedly spit in an officer’s face. He was transported to a juvenile detention facility in Red Wing.
