LONGVIEW (KYTX) - Jacinda Kali Hawkins, 18, of Longview, remains jailed on $20,000 bond following her weekend arrest for aggravated assault-family violence with a deadly weapon.
Longview police were dispatched to the 2300 block of 12th Street shortly after midnight Sunday on a family violence call. According to court records, the victim told officers that his stepdaughter, Hawkins, who lives at the same address, had been arguing with him and began pushing him. He tried to get her to leave the location, but she picked up a baseball bat and began chasing him.
"He then ran to his bedroom. She started trying to hit him with the bat. He said that she swung the bat several times hitting the door," police stated in their official report.
Hawkins then put down the bat and started to walk out of the house, but when he opened the door, he saw her in the kitchen holding a butcher knife, the victim told police.
"He said, when she saw him walk out of the bedroom, she ran at him telling him she was going to cut him. He said he then ran back into the bedroom and locked door," yelling for his wife to call police, records stated.
Hawkins is in the Gregg County Jail, and an emergency protective order has been filed in the case. If convicted of the charge, she faces as much as 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
