An argument about Pop Tarts led a woman to stab her boyfriend in the chest with a steak knife today, Lakeland police say.
Officers arrived today at 210 Lake Hollingsworth Road, No. 4, and saw 18-year-old Catheline Marie Colon cleaning blood from the floor. Investigators said Colon had lived with her boyfriend, 19-year-old Shawn Andrews, for about three months.
Colon had moved out but returned to collect belongings.
"She wanted to get a Pop Tart, and he said she couldn't have anything," police spokesman Jack Gillen said.
Gillen said Andrews pushed and hit Colon, and she stabbed him in the chest, causing a severe wound.
Andrews' friend took him to a Lakeland hospital. His condition wasn't immediately known.
"At this time, he hasn't been charged, and he did suffer a severe chest wound, and she apparently did not have any marks on her body," Gillen said. "He refused to give us a witness statement, and he said he did not want her arrested. But we obviously arrested her."
Colon was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence. Her bail hadn't been set today.
