Posted

MONTICELLO, NY — Monticello Police have issued a press release detailing how they responded to a call on Christmas Eve at 8 p.m. to the Horizons Apartment Complex at Harmony Lane in the Village of Monticello. When they arrived, they found a 31-year-old man with a stab wound to his left arm. The victim was then transported to Catskill Regional Medical Center by Mobile Medic Ambulance for medical treatment.

The police investigation revealed that the victim had been involved in a dispute inside the residence with Naquema James, 35, with whom he has two children. During the dispute, James threatened to stab the victim while in the presence of two children. Other family members were able to disarm James. The victim then left the residence. James then grabbed another knife from inside the residence and followed the victim outside to the parking lot, where she then stabbed the victim in his left bicep. James then fled the area prior to officers arriving on the scene.

James turned herself into Monticello police the following Friday. Monticello police arrested her and charged her with assault and criminal possession of a weapon. She was also charged with misdemeanors for menacing and endangering the welfare of a child.

James was arraigned before Village of Monticello justice Josephine Finn and remanded to the Sullivan County Jail on $20,000 bail pending further court action.
