Police said Maradiaga and another woman in the class at Bellevue College got into a verbal dispute Oct. 9 that turned physical when Maradiaga "blew up out of control" and pulled out a knife with a 3-inch blade. The fight started when Maradiaga complained about a video and the other woman suggested she "give it a chance."

The class was run by a court services agency that rents space from the college.
