Sonora, CA– A Sonora man was arrested early Tuesday evening on a number of charges including assault with a deadly weapon.
According to the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office, 30-year-old Joshua Swann is suspected of pulling a knife on 43-year-old Steffanie Henningsen of Vallecito. Henningsen told Sheriff’s Deputies that she and Swann were in her truck in Sonora when Swann threatened to stab her.

Swann who tried to leave the area holding a knife, ignored orders from the officers who eventually had to use a taser to subdue him.
