Police: St. Charles woman stabbed another woman multiple times

A St. Charles woman is facing an attempted murder charge after police said she stabbed another woman multiple times.

Sandy Underwood, 39, is charged with attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated battery and two counts of misdemeanor domestic battery.

St. Charles police said in a news release that about 7:50 p.m. Tuesday, July 29, they responded to a reported stabbing at Underwood’s apartment building near the intersection of Randall Road and Main Street (Route 64).

Officers were met at the scene by Underwood, who said she had just stabbed another woman, according to the release. Police detained Underwood and said they found the victim in a nearby apartment suffering from multiple stab wounds.

St. Charles paramedics rendered aid at the scene and took the victim to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva. She was later flown to Loyola University Medical Center due to the extent of her injuries.

Kane County court records indicate that at the time, Underwood was free on pretrial release on misdemeanor domestic battery charges for an April 8 event.

She was also charged with misdemeanor DUI in March in Batavia.

Underwood is now being detained pretrial. Her next court date on the latest case is Aug. 11.
