When police arrived on the scene, they found the 29-year-old woman screaming at her sister "and approaching her in a threatening manner."

The sister told police that after she denied Orman's request for a ride, the suspect "said she was going to get a knife and stab me to death" and then grabbed a knife.

Orman was hit with the child abuse charge for allegedly pulling her nephew's hair when he tried to call 911.

According to Orman, she grabbed the knife to defend herself when her family attacked her "for no reason."
