Woman Arrested on First Degree Burglary
 
A Morganton woman from the Salem community faces a first degree burglary charge after allegedly breaking into a home on February 17th and assaulting two people, according to BCSO Detective Andrea Whalen. 
 
At approximately 1:29 a.m., Aurora Chambers of 3495 Nelson Lane reported to the Burke County Sheriff's Office that an intoxicated female with a butcher knife was inside her residence threatening to kill her.
 
Deputies arrived on the scene to find Geishila Gadson, 36, of 301-A Salem Road standing in the driveway with an "asp" baton. Gadson was taken into custody after officers spoke with Chambers, Whalen stated.
 
Chambers told Det. Whalen she was asleep in her bedroom with her boyfriend, Marty Gadson. She was awakened by Marty yelling at Geishila Gadson, who was standing in the hallway with what appeared to be a knife. Chambers stated to investigators that she was struck by Geishila Gadson, who exited the residence and was later located by the deputies in the driveway area. Chambers sustained minor injuries from the assault, Whalen said.
 
Prior to the arrival of officers, Gadson reportedly broke several windows on Marty Gadson's automobile. A window was also discovered broken at the rear of the house.
 
Gadson was placed in the Burke Catawba District Confinement Facility under a $25,000.00 bond. Her first court appearance is set for February 19th.
