EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – An Evansville woman is facing multiple charges after police say she showed up at a victim’s home with a knife and attempted to break in Saturday afternoon.
Evansville police officers were dispatched to a home on East Iowa Street for a residential burglary. Dispatch reported a woman who arrived in a red SUV was breaking windows.
Responding officers stopped the SUV as it was leaving and identified the driver as Rosalyn Green, 20.

Investigators say the dispute stemmed from a fight the night before at a club where Green and the victim both work.
Green told police that after leaving her home Saturday afternoon, she returned to find her apartment ransacked, her mattress and couches cut open, syrup and bleach poured throughout the residence, and $300 missing. Green told officers she believed the victim was responsible and went to the victim’s home to retaliate rather than calling the police.
The victim told officers she arrived home early Saturday morning to find her house egged and windows broken. When Green returned Saturday afternoon, the victim said Green broke more windows, banged on the front door with a large kitchen knife, and threatened her.
A family member inside reportedly held the door shut to keep Green from entering, police said.
Officers say they found a large, gold kitchen knife on the ground near the front porch.
Green was arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail on charges of attempted burglary armed with a deadly weapon, intimidation with a deadly weapon, and criminal mischief.
