The woman arrested at her Alki apartment one week ago after an hours-long standoff with police is due in court tomorrow to answer a charge of felony harassment. 54-year-old Tina Marie Gregorius is accused of threatening her neighbor with a knife – which is what brought police to the scene originally – an also of vandalizing the neighbor’s car and harassing others who live nearby. According to the charging document, Gregorius and the victim were friends until two years ago, when Gregorius started behaving bizarrely. Then last Tuesday, investigators say, Gregorius brandished a “large kitchen knife” at the victim and threatened to kill her if she didn’t stop “talking (about her).” The documents say security video captured that confrontation and included these screenshots of the defendant:
Though the documents say Gregorius has no criminal history, they also say the victim had reported her to police before and feared that if officers left this time without arresting her, she would follow through on her threats. The narrative also says other neighbors approached police during the standoff and said they had filed police reports about her before. Eventually they talked her out and took her into custody; after getting a search warrant, they went into her apartment and found the knife. Gregorius has been in jail since then, in lieu of $30,000 bail, and is due to be arraigned tomorrow morning.
