TAMARAC, Fla. -- The Broward County Sheriff's Office say they arrested a woman who was threatening to kill an infant with a knife.
Shortly before 11:30 PM on Thursday, December 1, 2016, Lorraine Drayton, 33, was arguing with her ex-boyfriend.
The Sheriff's Office says the fight intensified and Drayton started biting her ex-boyfriend when he tried to stop her from getting to two children who were in the home.
BSO says Drayton then grabbed a knife from the kitchen and barricaded herself into a master bedroom with a four-month-old boy and then threatened to kill the infant.
Deputies responded to the scene and tried to coax Drayton from the bedroom. When negotiations failed, deputies forced their way into the bathroom of the master bedroom and saw Drayton sitting on the floor holding the boy and pointing the knife towards deputies, while threatening to harm the infant if deputies approached.
BSO says when Drayton stood up and turned the knife toward the infant, a deputy fired a round from his less-lethal shotgun and struck her in the leg. The less-lethal shot failed to stop Drayton and another deputy deployed his stun gun.
Drayton was taken into custody without further incident.
Deputies say the child was unharmed and Drayton sustained a minor injury from the bean-bag round.
After she was medically cleared, Drayton was booked at the Broward County Sheriff's Office Main Jail on child abuse and domestic violence charges.
