The case against a Dubuque woman who was accused of threatening children with a steak knife has been dismissed. 34 year old Samantha Peterson of Dubuque was charged in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County with assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, but the charge was dismissed due to insufficient evidence. According to a report, police responded July 16th to the 1700 block of White Street for a report of a woman waving a knife at children. Peterson told police that some neighbors were threatening to come fight her, and she eventually admitted to pulling out the knife.Â
