Officers reportedly located the knife suspected of being used in the attack.
Kenshalo was charged with a Class 3 felony for aggravated battery and a Class A misdemeanor for domestic battery. Court documents indicate she was ordered remanded to jail until her initial appearance in court.
The issuance of charges is based solely upon probable cause and is not an indication of guilt. All subjects charged with criminal offenses are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
