MADISON (WKOW) — Police arrested a Madison woman after someone claimed she chased her with a knife near the Capitol Square Tuesday evening.
Authorities booked 41-year-old Miracle L. Lloyd into the Dane County jail on charges of battery while armed, carrying a concealed knife, disorderly conduct, and felon in possession of an oleoresin device, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
The 28-year-old alleged victim told police she and Lloyd had a long-running dispute when the two crossed paths just before 7 p.m. on the 100 block of West Mifflin Street. Lloyd allegedly wanted to fight and punched the woman several times before she pulled out pepper spray.
