Manassas resident Jasmine Denisha Garcia, 36, has become the second person arrested for an incident inside a Haymarket home that saw a man threatened with a knife to his neck and then a gun to his head.
At approximately 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 12, officers from the Prince William County Police Department were called to the 4300 block of Sudley Road, where there were reports of a group that wound up involved in an altercation that rapidly escalated.
Police say that during the fracas, a 31-year-old woman was assaulted, and a 25-year-old man had a knife held to his neck before another person took out a gun and held it to his head.
The fight was broken up and the victims were able to flee to a neighbor's home to contact the police.
During the initial investigation, Anthony Aguirre was arrested inside the home and found in possession of a gun and ammunition. Arrest warrants were then issued for Garcia and 33-year-old Manassas resident Eric Yovany Melara, who was also allegedly involved in the incident and is still wanted.
Garcia was arrested over the weekend and charged with two counts of assault by mob, as well as assault and battery. Melara is still wanted as of Wednesday, March 13.
