A bride-to-be in southeastern Wisconsin is facing charges after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend multiple times during a domestic dispute about the possibility of using their home as a wedding venue.
At the end of January, an engaged couple who live together in Brookfield began having disagreements while planning their upcoming wedding. They reportedly became embroiled in a heated argument when they discussed the idea of using their shared residence as a venue for the event. According to reports, the situation became so intense that the woman said she no longer wanted her fiancé around her child.
Later that day, when he returned from work, the man went inside the house and was allegedly attacked by his fiancée. As he walked through the kitchen, the woman reportedly grabbed a knife. He grabbed some of his personal belongings as she trailed behind him, and when the man was standing in front of her, she allegedly swung the blade in his direction multiple times. According to reports, his left arm, the left side of his neck, and both sides of his chest were cut open during the altercation.
When the authorities investigated the incident, they reported that both parties said they assaulted each other. It was noted that the woman also told them that her fiancé had been threatening her and telling her she was going to have her daughter taken from her. They found a knife with blood on it in the home, and they purported that she used it to cause the injuries to the alleged victim.
The woman was taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree reckless injury, a class D felony, in addition to the use of a dangerous weapon and domestic violence. She was released after posting a $3,500 cash bond. She must comply with GPS monitoring and cannot possess dangerous weapons or firearms. She is currently prohibited from coming within one mile of the alleged victim, who was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. If convicted, she could serve a sentence of up to 30 years.
