Racine police were called to a home on La Salle Street just north of downtown for a stabbing on Wednesday morning. Officers spotted a woman, later identified as White, walking away.

Prosecutors said White then ran off, but when police caught up to her, court filings said she was covered in blood and had a bag of cocaine and fentanyl in her sock. A bloody knife was found nearby.

Days before the stabbing, prosecutors said a witness told police White was carrying a butcher knife around and threatened the victim she was "going to kill him this time."

In addition to a charge of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, White is charged with felony and misdemeanor drug possession.
