Pa. Girlfriend Wakes From Bender Stabs Beau Who Ate Thanksgiving Meal Early: Police

A Pennsylvania woman chased her boyfriend around a dining room and stabbed him in the chest because he started eating Thanksgiving dinner while she slept off a bender, said police.

Authorities said Jacklyn Blake confessed to officers who responded to her Wilkes-Barre home Thursday. Officers found her boyfriend inside holding a towel over his chest. He was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The 47-year-old Blake is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, simple assault, reckless endangerment and making terroristic threats. It wasn't clear if she has a lawyer.

According to police, Blake's boyfriend said she'd been drunk earlier in the day and attacked him after waking up from a nap. He said she stabbed him and then threw the knife, striking him just below the left eye.
