A Santa Barbara woman has been arrested on charges of criminal threats, resisting arrest and possession of a dagger after two hours of negotiations with police officers and the crisis negotiation and co-response teams.

On Thursday morning, police received a call of a woman identified as 46-year-old Amy Berry holding a knife in her hand on the 700 block of State Street, according to Bryan Kerr, a public information officer for the Santa Barbara Police Department.

When contacted by police officers, Berry allegedly fled southbound on State Street. After a brief foot pursuit, she reportedly turned around and confronted the officers with a knife in each hand.

Berry allegedly began threatening the officers. Members of the Santa Barbara police crisis negotiation and co-response teams arrived on scene and began negotiating with her for two hours, according to Kerr.

During negotiations, she reportedly concealed several knives on her person and in her belongings next to her.

Once she no longer had any knives or weapons in her hands, officers were able to approach her with two ballistic shields and take her into custody without injury, Kerr said.

Berry was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail on $50,000 bail.
