Juvenile arrested for allegedly pulling knife, threatening to kill mother

Hopkinsville police arrested a 16-year old girl Monday night after she allegedly pulled a knife on her mother and threatened to kill her.

Officers found multiple punctures on the frame of the girl’s bedroom door, appearing to be from the knife.

The juvenile was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment and transported to the McCracken County Juvenile Detention Center.
