Woman threatens stranger with metal wrench at his front door: CCSO

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Cameron County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a woman Friday and charged her with assault, according to a news release.

Deputies responded to the 800 block of Dakota Avenue in Brownsville about an assault.

When deputies arrived, a man told them he heard someone outside of his residence who attempted to open his front door.

He said when he opened the door, he noticed an unknown woman, later identified as Mariah Cheyanne Becks, 23, standing on his front porch with a metal wrench in her hand, according to documents.

He said he felt threatened when Becks stood in a “fighting stance” and threatened him before walking off his porch and onto the roadway.

Sheriff’s deputies later located Becks down the street with the wrench in her hand.

She was placed under arrest without incident and taken to the Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center and booked for assault.
