This isn't the first time De-Kieu Duy, also known as Lisa Duy has had run-ins with the law.

A friend of her family says trouble started a few years ago, when her criminal record began with a case of stalking, and other charges. News Specialist Karen Scullin reports.

I've learned through a family friend that Lisa Duy's family members were Vietnamese refugees who came to Salt Lake City in 1980.

The friend describes the family as a good family, all six kids went to college, and there never seemed to be any real problems.

That was until about four years ago. That's when the suspect apparently began having mental problems, and her first run-in with the law.

In 1996, police came in contact with Lisa Duy at a West Valley City Radio station. Similar to the incident at KSL, she walked into the lobby and demanded to see a certain disc jockey. She thought she was being harrassed.

Assistant Chief Craig Gibson says, "She got quite agitated to the point where the officers had to take her into custody. While they were taking her into custody she became resistant. She pinched and kicked the officers, allegedly."

In fact, she didn't even recognize him when he stood next to her. When she was asked to leave she began yelling obscenities.

Police say they found a steak knife in her back pocket. She was charged with disorderly conduct, stalking, concealing a weapon, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer. All are misdemeanor charges.

She was already undergoing mental therapy at the time of the arrest.

The public defender worked out a 24 month diversion agreement.

That means she would stay out of trouble for 24 months. The agreement ended October 1, 1998.
