Emily Rebecca Watts, 29, of Tullytown Borough, is accused of entering a residence on Jester Lane around 11:47 p.m. on June 16, according to Bristol Township police.
Authorities said in court papers that Watts confronted a man she knew in his bedroom. She demanded money he owed her and threatening him with a pocket knife.
The man was able to shut the bedroom door, but Watts continued to attack the door while threatening to kill him, police said.

A second resident of the home intervened and Watts fled outside the home in the Levittown section, police said.
Authorities said the woman smashed a window with the knife, causing glass to shatter.

The second resident told an officer Watts threatened to kill him once he confronted her, police said.
Watts was charged last week with aggravated assault, burglary, terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, simple assault, criminal mischief, harassment, and disorderly conduct. She was preliminarily arraigned on Monday by on-call District Judge Daniel Baranoski and released on $5,000 unsecured bail.
