PEORIA, Ill. – A woman has been released from pretrial custody after her arrest early Friday morning for allegedly stabbing her ex-boyfriend in the stomach in Northwest Peoria.
The Peoria County State’s Attorney’s Office says a petition to detain 23-year-old Nicole Keller of Germantown Hills was denied on Friday, citing a non-extensive criminal history.
Prosecutors say police arrived at a house in the area of Rockwell and Castleton just after midnight, seeing blood on the front stoop and broken glass.
The victim told police he was home with a roommate when Keller allegedly banged on a door and broke a window, then swung a baseball bat at him when he tried to get Keller to leave.
Keller lunged at the victim and allegedly stabbed him in the stomach and severely cut his hand before fleeing in her vehicle. Police quickly found the vehicle and took her into custody.
Conditions of her release include GPS monitoring, not having contact with the victim, and not possessing any dangerous weapons.
