WINTHROP WOMAN CHARGED IN FRIDAY INCIDENT

A Winthrop woman has been charged in Sibley County with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, intentional discharge of a firearm that endangers safety, first-degree criminal damage to property and reckless discharge of a firearm within a municipality stemming from an incident in Winthrop Friday morning.  The criminal complaint says police were called to the home of 45-year-old Julia Stolfa on South Redwood Street after neighbors reported hearing 10 to 15 gunshots.  Investigators found at least three bullets had entered the living room and dining room of her neighbor’s house.  Officers obtained a search warrant and arrested Stolfa in her bedroom.  They found a Glock 58 9 mm handgun, spent shell casings and boxes of ammunition.  Police say Stolfa admitted to firing her gun both inside and outside her house and told authorities she had been drinking heavily for three days.  A preliminary breath test measured her blood alcohol concentration at point-17.  Stolfa made her initial court appearance Monday and unconditional bail was set at $750,000 or $250,000 with conditions.  If convicted, she faces a maximum of seven years in prison on the assault charge, five years each on the firearm discharge and property damage charges and two years on the reckless discharge count.
