CEDARVILLE — The 19-year-old Cedarville student who was charged with two felonies in connection with the stabbing of another student has had her case bound over to Greene Common Pleas Court.

Juniya Franks, of Galena, is facing charges of second-degree felonious assault and tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony, court records show. She was originally charged in Xenia Municipal Court, which handles cases for Cedarville, but the felony charges shift the jurisdiction to the common pleas court.

Around 8:15 a.m. on Feb. 7, Cedarville police were dispatched to the Stevens Student Center after a 911 caller said a female student stabbed another. When police arrived, campus security had the alleged victim in an ambulance ready to be taken to Soin Medical Center in Beavercreek. Campus security had the female, later identified as Franks, handcuffed in the back seat of one of their vehicles, according to an affidavit filed in the case.

Franks consented to an interview and said she met the male in the stairwell at the Stevens Student Center to apologize for her plans to report incidents to university employees that she said involved the man. Franks said she was sitting on his lap which was a common way she would converse with him, according to the affidavit.

“She related that (the male) put his hands around her neck to choke her and stated he was going to kill her, but he wasn’t squeezing hard enough to leave marks and she did have some difficulty breathing,” the affidavit states.

Franks said she was reaching into her pocket acting as if she was getting her phone but was actually reaching for a knife. Franks said the man pulled out his phone to tell her what time it was and she stood up, turned around, and stabbed him in the chest. She said she then took the man’s phone because she was afraid he was going to call 911.

The man was interviewed at the hospital where he was treated for a knife wound and was about to be released.

“He stated he had his arms around Franks’ shoulders during their conversation to help relieve her anxiety but said he did not choke or assault Franks,” according to the affidavit. “(The man) related that Franks took his phone from him that he was using to call 911 after he was stabbed.”

Franks’ first appearance in common pleas court has not yet been scheduled.
