Woman charged in husband's stabbing
BOARDMAN — Police arrested a 21-year-old West Boulevard woman accused of stabbing her husband in the buttocks with a kitchen knife.
Casey Jackson was charged with felonious assault and is scheduled to appear in Mahoning County Court here Tuesday. She was released from the Mahoning County Justice Center on a $12,000 bond.
Police were called to a West Boulevard apartment about 9:30 a.m. Thursday. They found her husband, Joethan Jackson, 21, lying on the living room floor, holding his side, and a puddle of blood on the carpet.
Joethan Jackson told police that he and his wife had gotten into an argument and she smacked his face. He said that he pushed her onto the couch to avoid being hit. She ran into the kitchen, grabbed something and ran back to the living room, he said.
As he was walking away, he felt a poke to the right side of his buttocks, looked back and saw his wife with a knife in her hand, he told police. The man then went into the bedroom to get dressed. He was naked when the assault occurred, a police report said.
Casey Jackson told police that her husband pulled the knife on her and she was able to get it away from him. She said that she swung it at him to keep him away. He turned away as she swung and that's how he was injured, she told police.
The man was treated at St. Elizabeth Health Center.
