A woman in New York threatened to stab police officers with a broken pipe commonly used to smoke meth, according to police.  

Jamestown police responded to a suspicious person call on Monday and worked to remove 32-year-old Holly Mooney from a back porch of a residence just before 4 a.m.

Mooney pulled out a broken pipe commonly used to smoke meth and threatened to stab the officers with it, police reported. 

She was arrested and charged with menacing and resisting arrest. She was later released on court appearance tickets.
