DULUTH - A woman remained jailed Friday after allegedly holding a knife to the neck of an anti-abortion demonstrator in Duluth.

Mechelle Tallulah Hall, of Superior, Wis., is charged with second-degree assault. Bail was set at $9,000.

The Duluth News Tribune reported that at her arraignment Wednesday, the 25-year-old Hall blurted out: "I know what I did was wrong."

The newspaper said the judge advised her that the proceeding wasn't the appropriate time or place to comment about the facts of her case.

The victim was not hurt in Tuesday's incident, which took place outside the Building for Women, whose tenants include the Women's Health Center of Duluth, which provides abortions and other services.

According to the criminal complaint, Hall said during the attack that she did it "because I am certified crazy."
