The criminal complaint, filed Tuesday in Olmsted County Court says Rochester Police responded to a residence on the report of harassing phone calls on New Year’s Eve. The report of threatening calls came two days after officers responded to a stabbing that involved the recipient of the calls. 

The stabbing investigation remains ongoing, however a Rochester Police Spokesperson said officers responded to an altercation between two females in the 1700 block of 45 St NW. around 6 p.m. on Dec. 29. During the fight the victim in the threats case stabbed or slashed the other female.
