A Charlotte woman accused of carrying out a brutal, hours-long attack on her girlfriend inside an Uptown Airbnb is back behind bars, after authorities say she broke the rules of her electronic monitoring.

Court filings show Jakari Snowden was re-arrested on March 14, 2026, and is being held in the Mecklenburg County jail on a $100,000 secured bond while her felony case moves forward.

Allegations From the Warrant Affidavit

According to The NC Beat, a warrant affidavit describes a night of escalating violence inside an Airbnb on North Poplar Street during a July 2024 trip. Investigators say Snowden punched the victim, hit her in the head with both a tequila bottle and a lamp, and cut her with a knife, leaving bleeding wounds in several areas.

The affidavit further alleges Snowden stripped and humiliated the victim, poured liquor on her, spat on her, took nude photos and threatened to post them online, all while forcing sexual acts under the threat of more violence. The victim ultimately escaped by jumping out of a window, sought medical treatment, and later returned to New York, the filing states.

What Court Records Show

Public Superior Court calendars list a series of serious felony counts tied to the case, including first-degree kidnapping, a first-degree forcible sexual offense, assault causing serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, and communicating threats, among other charges. The Mecklenburg Superior Court calendar (PDF) available on the public docket shows entries under Snowden’s name with case numbers such as 24CR371631.

Those calendar notations reflect charges filed by prosecutors, not findings of guilt, and they are subject to change as the case progresses.

Re-arrest and Current Custody

Court documents reviewed by media indicate Snowden was re-arrested on March 14, 2026, after authorities alleged she violated the conditions of her electronic monitoring while on pretrial supervision. The NC Beat reports she is now being held on a $100,000 secured bond in the Mecklenburg County jail as the case proceeds in Superior Court.

Legal Status

The allegations in the warrant affidavit remain just that, allegations, and Snowden is presumed innocent unless and until she is proven guilty in court. Prosecutors and the judge will determine whether the case heads toward indictment, plea negotiations, or trial. Entries in the public calendar show the matter is being handled at the Superior Court level and that multiple felony counts are currently listed for judicial review, according to the Mecklenburg Superior Court calendar (PDF).

Future filings by the defense and prosecution, along with upcoming court hearings, will determine whether Snowden’s bond terms or electronic monitoring conditions change as the case continues.
