In speaking with the two, officers learned that there had been an argument over Arredondo driving as they believed that her license was currently suspended.  The male had the car keys and would not give them to her.  During this argument, Arredondo kicked the male several times and hit him in the left eye.  The male then attempted to leave the residence but Arredondo grabbed the kitchen knife and raised it over her head directed toward the male. As the male continued to leave the residence, she threw the knife toward him and past his head.  Arredondo was arrested for terroristic threats, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, and third degree domestic assault.  She was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
