Woman took a knife because she did not like the comments made by her friend, who criticized her about the cleanliness of the home, which was filled with dead rodents and waste, and threatened her life before stabbing her below the eye; arrested

The woman faced a violent response after she criticized the cleanliness of her friend’s house, which was littered with dog waste and dead rodents. The police received a distress call filled with the sound of children crying, making it difficult to understand the caller. The caller eventually explained that her cousin, Tatiana , had stabbed their friend following a dispute.

The incident occurred when the victim visited Tatiana’s residence and made a comment about the untidiness, a concern given that two young children, aged 2 and 4, were living in such conditions. The situation escalated when Tatiana attacked her cousin, leading to a physical altercation. The victim intervened, fearing for her cousin’s life and the well-being of her own children, aged 1 and 5.

During the altercation, Tatiana reportedly took a knife and threatened the victim’s life. In an attempt to protect her face, the victim was stabbed below her right eye, resulting in a significant cut and multiple defensive injuries on her hands. Police, upon arrival, found the victim bleeding and observed severe neglect within the home, including widespread dog feces and dead mice, along with a scattered mess of clothes and a large knife. Tatiana was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and illegal possession of a weapon, with her bail set at $25,000. The children were placed in the care of their grandmother.
