An Alden woman who allegedly threatened a man she knew last summer with a knife is facing a felony charge in Freeborn County District Court.

Betrice Lynn Hensche, 51, is charged with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon. Her first appearance on the charge is scheduled for Dec. 21.

Court documents state Hensche was charged after deputies responded to a report of a possible domestic incident Aug. 7 in Freeborn County.

Hensche allegedly showed signs of intoxication and said she got into an argument with someone she knew and “took it too far,” striking the man with a spatula. 

Court documents state the alleged victim said Hensche had a knife and threatened to use it on him before laying it on a table.

Following the incident, Hensche was taken to Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea due to her intoxication.

A mugshot for Hensche was not available at press time.
