Unfortunately, there was an alleged history of violence associated with the relationship of deceased Pa. cop Mark Hudson and his 27-year-old girlfriend Tyaina Finch.

The Associated Press reports that Finch of Glenolden, Pa., previously faced threat and assault charges stemming from an August dispute during which authorities allege she threatened Hudson with a knife.

Now, in wake of the Darby Borough police officer's off-duty shooting death over the weekend, authorities in Delaware County have charged Finch with 1st- and 3rd-degree murder.

The fatal shooting took place Saturday in Hudson's Philadelphia-area home. Hudson, 26, worked part-time as a police officer, but was off-duty at the time of the shooting.

AP cites a criminal complaint in reporting that Finch at first said the shooting was accidental but later said she fired in self-defense after being attacked.

She was arrested Monday on the previous threat and assault charges from August.
