Details from the documents reveal that on December 4, Knowles and the man, referred to as “Walker” by WMC, were having a custody exchange at his mother’s residence. An argument between the two parents escalated outside the house and turned physical. Knowles walked away initially but returned with a knife, allegedly assaulting the man with injuries to his hands and neck.
While the injuries weren’t serious, WMC reported that he was taken to Regional One Health Medical Center. He identified Knowles as the person who allegedly attacked him. It is unknown where the child was at the time of the attack.
The man’s mother was the one who called the police on Dec. 4 and reported the altercation between Knowles and her son.
Knowles posted her bond and was released. She is due in court on Dec. 27.
