A breakup-fueled stabbing near Charlotte’s Northlake Mall has ended with a short jail sentence: 75 days behind bars for a local woman who admitted to using a knife on her former partner during a September 2025 fight. The victim was treated at the scene for two puncture wounds to the back, according to emergency responders cited in local reporting and booking records. The guilty plea was entered during administrative court sessions this spring.

Judge Hands Down 75-Day Sentence

According to a March 13 press release from the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office, 26-year-old Hennessy Creecy pled guilty to misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced by Judge Carla N. Archie to 75 days in jail. The DA’s release lists Creecy among several defendants who entered pleas during the court sessions and provides the sentence but few other details about what led up to the attack.

Reports Describe Violent Breakup Fight

Local coverage and on-scene accounts place the September 2025 altercation at a residence on Redding Glen Avenue in the Northlake Mall area and identify the victim as 26-year-old Trania Willis. As reported by Charlotte Alerts News, Willis showed EMS two bleeding puncture wounds on her back and blood on her shirt after the attack, and the outlet says the knife was described as a curved, crescent-moon-shaped blade. That reporting also alleges the dispute followed a breakup; those motive and employment details were reported locally and are not expanded on in the DA’s release.

Booking Records Trace Case Through the Courts

Public mugshot roundups published by WCCB Charlotte show Creecy in late September booking posts with charges that include assault with a deadly weapon, simple assault and communicating threats. Court calendars and administrative-session listings also show a case for “Creecy, Hennessy,” indicating the matter moved through Mecklenburg Superior Court before the guilty plea was entered.

What the Sentence Means Now

The DA’s news release confirms the plea and the 75-day jail term but does not detail any additional penalties or protective orders. Local outlets report that a no-contact condition was ordered. Any remaining conditions tied to the plea will appear in court records, and public calendars show the case resolved during the county’s administrative sessions this spring.
