A Virginia woman has been arrested for allegedly swinging a medieval sword at police and her neighbor.
The Leesburg Police Department issued a press release about the arrest of Alexandra C. Hopkins, 35, on Monday.
The department wrote:
On February 8, 2024, officers responded to the 800 block of Edwards Ferry Road, NE, to serve a warrant on a subject. When officers encountered the subject, she swung a sword at one of them and fled into a residence.
Another person in the area reported that the subject also swung the sword at them.
There were no injuries.
The blade of the sword was approximately 14″ long.
