PEORIA, Ill. – A Peoria woman has been arrested for the third time this month – in this instance, after she wielded what Peoria County Sheriffs Deputies called a machete at a South Peoria-area liquor store.
The department says Andrea Hollins, 38, was released from jail Tuesday with Notices to Appear on charges of Aggravated Assault and Criminal Damage to Property.
A report says Hollins was at Laramie Liquors the afternoon of Christmas Eve when she allegedly slashed a car with the machete several times and threatened to kill the car’s owner, before being found by deputies at a nearby bus stop.
Hollins reportedly confessed, claiming she was tired of “them” messing with her, and was going to do more.
She had been arrested just five days before by Peoria Police on a host of weapons and other charges. Her first arrest came December 2 on drug-related charges; and, records indicate, she was also arrested in November.
