Police: Intoxicated woman pointed rifle at man

Sioux Falls police say a woman is in custody after she pointed a rifle at a man she thought may have "messed with her dog."

Katrina Hand, 49, was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon while intoxicated, according to police spokesman Sam Clemens.

Clemens said a 27-year-old man heard "an aggressive knock" on the door of his apartment, in the 4400 block of West Valhalla Boulevard on Tuesday.

When he opened the door, Hand was pointing a scoped lever-action rifle at him, and asked him if he had messed with her dog.

The man closed the door, and when he looked out the peephole, Hand was gone.

He told officers he did not know Hand, but that he'd seen her outside the building recently. Police eventually found her in a different apartment in the same complex and arrested her.

Clemens said a dog — safe and healthy — was found, and taken by animal control.
