A Vietnamese woman in Westminster chased her boyfriend around his apartment complex with a knife, then barricaded herself in an apartment until SWAT shot and arrested her, reports the OC Register here.
It took almost half a day for the police to take down Shelly Lyn Doan, 48, of Westminster.
The manager of the Cinnamon Creek apartments (pictured; located smack dab in the middle of Little Saigon at the corner of Brookhurst and Bishop) called police at 2pm to report a woman armed with a kitchen knife chasing a man.
She then ran into his apartment and shut the door.
Cops went to the apartment and saw the woman, but couldn’t get her to come out.
So the police brought in the big guns. West County SWAT, a joint team of officers from Westminster and nearby cities, was called in. Hostage negotiators came as well, but they couldn’t get the woman to come out either.
Several times, Doan came to the window with the knife and waved it around, according to SWAT members.
Finally, around 8:30 pm, Doan came out of the apartment and confronted police. That’s when cops shot her with what WPD calls “less-than-lethal weapons.”
Then cops went into the apartment, apparently thinking they’d be liberating the hostage-boyfriend, but he wasn’t there. Apparently he’d hightailed it at the first sign of his woman with a knife.
Doan was taken to the hospital for minor injuries, and then held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
According to the Register, “Doan’s boyfriend has not contacted police.”
let put her on death row…if this was the other way around,the bf would have been shot to death..
Is it OK for me to come out now ?
hell ! that bitch almost took my life.
Wow, she did want to go for my family jewel, and all I did was just fooling around with girls at the Cytrist with andy quach and van tran….just a little bit…
hehe…People think she is Vietnamese by the last name Doan but she is actually Caucasian. She got tasered by the police and was admitted to Fountain Valley hospital. She’s in serious condition though but too bad that what she deserves for not listening to the police in the first place.
Oh … if she is Caucasian then this is the wrong woman … she probably is chasing someone else.
These Doan (Caucasian) family came to the US (from England) in the 1800s, while my girlfriend Doan’s family are fresh-off-the-boat (FOB). Obviously, another white dude is in big trouble now.
Wow I live 150 yards from Ctryst.I missed everything.
I must get back into all the fun. you would never get away from my ex Vietnamese wife if she was chasing you.
