A Texas woman is facing charges after allegedly threatening her husband with a kitchen knife following an argument over a gift she did not like.
According to reports, a woman from McClellan told her husband that she wanted a bracelet for Valentine’s Day. He presented her with a present in the morning on the holiday, and when his wife opened it, she saw he had purchased a necklace for her. She allegedly became agitated because he did not gift her the bracelet. The man was annoyed by her unappreciative attitude, and he left the house to go to work.
It was around 4:00 PM when the man got home, and the couple started to argue again. He decided to leave the house again for a few hours to see if some time apart would calm things down, but his plan was reportedly unsuccessful. When he came back a few hours later, he reported that his wife was still very upset, and she allegedly walked up to him with a large kitchen knife in her hand. The woman reportedly yelled at him while allegedly pointing the blade in his direction. It was reported that she also taunted him by telling him to “Come and get it.”
The authorities were notified by the man, and police went to the residence to investigate. He told them his side of the story and said he was able to record the incident. The footage was reviewed, and it reportedly showed the woman holding the knife.
The 57-year-old woman was taken into custody and booked into the McLennan County Jail. She is facing preliminary charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. According to facility records, she is no longer listed as an inmate.
