Police: Dorchester woman threatens neighbor with knife, gets released by judge, threatens him with a knife again

Boston Police report arresting a Bowdoin Street resident twice in less than a day for going after a neighbor with a knife.

According to police, Tamika Wilson, 33, was involved in an argument with a neighbor at 248 Bowdoin St. late Tuesday night when she "produced a knife and chased the victim into his home." Arriving officers found "cut or scrape marks on a door inside the location that appeared to have been made with a knife," police say.

Wilson was arrested and arraigned on a charge of assault by means of a dangerous weapon in Dorchester District Court Wednesday morning. Prosecutors asked for bail of $2,000, but Judge Robert McKenna decided to release her on personal recognizance - but ordered her to stay away from the victim - the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Around 1:30 p.m., police say, officers were called back to 248 Bowdoin St.:

On arrival, officers located and spoke to the victim and a witness who stated that were in the midst of cooking dinner when the same suspect from the earlier incident entered their apartment, accused the victim of stealing and again threatened him with a knife.

Officers again arrested Wilson on a charge of assault by means of a dangerous weapon. On her return trip to Dorchester District Court today, prosecutors asked for bail of $5,000 - but that her earlier release be revoked. Judge Rosalind Miller set bail of $500 and issued a civil restraining order against her for one year, the DA's office reports.

Innocent, etc.
