*UPDATE: A woman arrested on suspicion of a domestic violence incident in an unincorporated county area near Whittier has been released without charges, records show.
Debra Von Trapp, 58, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly cutting her husband with a knife Jan. 15 in the 12200 block of Tanfield Drive in an unincorporated county area near Whittier.
After six days in jail, Von Trapp was released without charges, court and sheriff's booking records show.
Suspects are generally required to be brought before a judge within two business days of arrest, however Von Trapp spend several additional days in jail due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday and a court furlough day.

Deputies arrested a woman on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after she attacked her husband with a knife, causing minor injuries, in an unincorporated county area near Whittier, authorities said.
Debra Von Trapp, 58, was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Robert Renteria said.
The incident occurred about 1 p.m. at a home in the 12200 block of Tanfield Drive, the sergeant said.
The woman and her husband became involved in an argument before the woman pulled a knife and cut his arm, Renteria said. The injury appeared minor.
Friday's incident was not the first time deputies have responded to the home for domestic violence-related calls, he added.
According to sheriff's booking records, Von Trapp is due for arraignment in Whittier Superior Court on Thursday.
