Meridian Police Department Arrests One Female for Aggravated Battery
MERIDIAN, ID – A Meridian woman has been arrested following an investigation into a stabbing incident that occurred last week.
On April 24, 2025, officers from the Meridian Police Department responded to a report of an aggravated battery after receiving a call from staff at St. Luke’s Emergency Room. Medical personnel reported that a female victim had been dropped off with what appeared to be multiple stab wounds.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the incident occurred in the early morning hours of April 24 in the 2100 block of Meridian Road. Detectives determined that the victim was injured during a confrontation that took place in a parking lot at that location. The victim was treated for her injuries and later released from the hospital.
As a result of the investigation, a search warrant was served at the home of 44-year-old Tera SUAREZ of Meridian on April 30. SUAREZ was taken into custody, interviewed at the Meridian Police Department, and subsequently booked into the Ada County Jail for Aggravated Battery (felony) without further incident.
Meridian Police remain committed to pursuing justice and ensuring the safety of our community. We would like to thank the Garden City Police Department and the Boise Police Department for their assistance with today’s arrest.
