A domestic dispute in eastern South Dakota reportedly escalated into a near-fatal stabbing while a couple was packing up their home.
According to court documents, the incident happened last weekend inside a residence. A woman and her fiancé were reportedly arguing while boxing up belongings when the disagreement allegedly turned physical. Investigators reported that the woman grabbed a knife measuring roughly eight to ten inches, which had been stored in the kitchen area.
Police allege she stabbed her fiancé in the chest. The man reportedly collapsed and told her he was bleeding badly and needed immediate medical help. Instead of calling for assistance, the woman allegedly drove him toward the hospital.
