Intoxicated 15-Year-Old Juvenile Female, Arrested on Felony and Misdemeanor Charges Following an Assault, Kicks Hole in Wall at Juvenile Detention
Spokane Valley Deputies arrested a 15-year-old juvenile female following a fight where she reportedly threatened to stab the victim with a knife and later, violently assaulted him. Deputies located the distinctive knife and contacted an adult male who was with the group, but not involved in the fight, and arrested him for a non-related misdemeanor warrant. The adult male victim was provided medical aid at the scene but refused additional care. At Juvenile Detention, the uncooperative female suspect became enraged and kicked a 2’x2’ hole in the wall of the facility. She also had to be medically cleared due to her extremely high intoxication level.
On July 23, 2025, at approximately 7:10 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to a person with a weapon and assault call in the 2400 block of N. Discovery Place in Spokane Valley. The caller reported he had been punched by a female suspect who was armed with a knife.
Additional callers reported seeing eight teenage subjects physically fighting on the bank of the Spokane River, and they appeared to be intoxicated.
Deputies arrived and contacted the adult male victim and the 15-year-old juvenile female suspect. They noted both showed obvious signs of alcohol intoxication.
The victim stated that he wanted to go to the river with some friends because he was being placed on house arrest the next day. He and his friend, the suspect, went to the river, and on their way, they ran into some of the suspect’s friends that he didn’t know. They were all hanging out drinking alcohol when a friend of the suspect, a 15-year-old juvenile female, threw the victim’s tumbler to the ground. He explained that the tumbler was precious to him because it had been given to him by a family member who had passed away.
The victim and the suspect’s friend began arguing about the tumbler, and the victim eventually poured water on her. Afterward, the suspect approached the victim holding an approximately 12-inch knife and said she’d stab him. Other members of the group ultimately separated them, which appeared to de-escalate the situation.
The suspect then approached the victim again, asking why he had spoken to her friend in that manner. Appearing not to like his response, the suspect grabbed the victim’s hair, pulled him head down on a rock, and began punching him in the face. He tried to cover his face to defend against the attack while calling for others to pull the suspect off him. He estimated the suspect punched him 25 times before she was separated from him. Deputies noted the victim’s mouth was bleeding, and he had several lacerations and contusions consistent with an assault.
Other Deputies contacted the suspect and detained her. They also located a blue knife and sheath a short distance away and collected it as evidence. The victim later confirmed it was the knife the suspect held when she threatened to stab him.
An uninvolved witness provided deputies with a statement that matched the victim’s version of the events.
Deputies advised the uncooperative and erratic suspect that she was under arrest for felony Harassment Involving a Weapon and Assault 4th Degree. They transported her to the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Center, where they requested additional staff to assist due to the suspect’s uncooperative behavior.
Once inside, the suspect suddenly began kicking a wall, causing an approximate 2’ x 2’ hole. Juvenile Detention Staff estimated the cost of repairing the damage at approximately $500. The suspect had to be transported to the hospital to be evaluated after a BAC test showed her intoxication level at .184 and .224.
After she was medically cleared by hospital staff, she was transported back to the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Center and booked for felony Harassment Involving a Weapon, Assault 4th Degree, and Malicious Mischief 3rd Degree.
Deputies also contacted an adult male who was with the group, but not involved in the fight, and learned he had an unrelated misdemeanor warrant for his arrest (Assault 4th Degree). He was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for the warrant.
