Chaos erupted at Dr. Feelgood’s Pub over the weekend when a night out took a violent turn. According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the scene of an assault with a weapon at 20419 SW Tualatin Valley Highway, shortly after midnight on Saturday. Reports came in through 911 of a stabbing incident that spiraled out of control during an altercation at the pub.

When law enforcement arrived, they discovered a community member providing first aid, pressing down on the stab wound to reduce the bleeding. Deputies took over, applying a tourniquet before the injured party was whisked away by ambulance to a local hospital. Meanwhile, a suspect, described as fleeing the scene, seemed destined to evade immediate capture.

However, in an unexpected turn of events, the accused returned to the pub while officers were still conducting their investigation. Kelli Duchesne, a 34-year-old woman from North Carolina, was taken into custody and now faces serious charges. The Washington County Jail records show she has been booked for assault in the first degree and unlawful use of a weapon, the Sheriff’s Office detailed. 

The victim's condition has not been disclosed. The investigation remains active, with the potential for additional details to surface as the process unfolds.
