Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - Just weeks after being arrested for driving into a city government building, a Rochester woman is back in the Olmsted County jail facing new charges.

A criminal complaint filed on Friday says 35-year-old Megan Elizabeth Swanstrom allegedly assaulted a man with two knives. The court document says the alleged attack occurred around midnight on the night of April 22 in a Rochester home the victim shared with Swanstrom.

The Charges Allege She Placed Two Steak Knives on the Victim's Neck

He told Rochester Police that she had been walking around talking to herself, and when he tried to talk with her, she responded by saying, "why don't you make me shut up?" and "what will you do if I hit you?" The victim stated that Swanstrom then went into the kitchen and returned holding two steak knives, which she placed against each side of his neck.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim indicated that he then grabbed her wrists to defend himself and she stated that she was "probably legally allowed to do this," which he took to mean that she believed she could assault him with knives. He told police, believing that she was going to cut him, he pushed her away and she responded by kneeing him in the groin. At that point, the victim told police he fled from the home.

The man reported that Swanstrom had used methamphetamine and the hallucinogen DMT in the past, was only drinking wine that night.

The court document says, when officers attempted to contact Swanstrom at the home, she did not respond or come to the door. She was taken into custody Thursday morning after officers spotted her outside of the residence.

She was arraigned on Friday in Olmsted County Court on charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor domestic assault. Her bail has now been set at $250,000.

The criminal complaint in that case says the slow speed pursuit began after Rochester police saw her crash into the back of another vehicle in the construction zone on North Broadway. The officer indicated she did not stop and drove around construction cones into the opposing lane of traffic.

After the officer activated the squad car's emergency lights, they observed the pickup drive over the median onto the closed portion of North Broadway, which caused the front tire on the vehicle to go flat. The charges say she then continued west on Elton Hills Drive and then onto West River Parkway, where she was seen swerving into oncoming traffic and colliding with another vehicle.

The court document says another motorist had to drive completely over the curb to avoid a head-on collision before Swanstrom was seen driving up onto the sidewalk. Rochester police then attempted to block traffic near the intersection of 37th Street and 9th Avenue Northwest, but Swanstrom then allegedly deliberately crashed into two squad cars before smashing into the entryway of the government building.

Following her arrest, the criminal complaint says Swanstrom told the officers that she was pregnant and was in possession of a methamphetamine pipe. The court document says an officer also heard her saying, "I am high on meth" as she was being transferred to medical care.

Her next court hearing in that case is scheduled in June.
