With a yell of "God is here, I'm going to repent," a woman swung a butcher knife Wednesday afternoon at someone inside Teen Challenge at 3333 Philips Highway, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

She next stabbed a table before stripping down and attacking two cars. She had chased children with the blade before a Taser stopped her rampage, police said.

Cheri Dana, a 42-year-old transient, has been jailed on charges of aggravated assault and criminal mischief. She remains in the Duval County jail on $90,000 bail, according to jail records.

The woman walked into Teen Challenge, an addiction treatment center, just before 1 p.m. and grabbed the knife off a counter, according to the report. Yelling as she swung, she stabbed a table before running to the Jaguar Car Wash at 3366 Philips Highway, stripping as she went. Two men were inside a car there when she stabbed it, but were not injured.

The woman ran to Philips Auto at 3386 Philips Highway and stabbed a second car, then chased teens getting off a school bus with the knife, police said. Police found the woman stabbing stairs with the knife and ordered her to drop it. When she refused and started toward two officers, one fired a Taser.

The woman was taken to Shands Jacksonville, then arrested, police said.
