A Terrytown woman armed herself with a knife and stabbed her boyfriend several times during a heated argument Friday morning, authorities say. It's not clear what sparked the fight, but Rebekha Lewis, 31, brought a bloody end to the row, according to a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrest report.
Lewis allegedly stabbed the unidentified victim in the stomach, chest, hand and leg. His condition is unknown.
The stabbing occurred early Friday morning at the residence the two shared, 621 National Ave., Terrytown. Lewis and her boyfriend began arguing sometime around 4:30 a.m. Before long, the two began to physically fight, the arrest report said.
Lewis and her boyfriend stopped fighting after a few minutes, but continued to argue. Finger-pointing led to a second physical scrap, the report said.
Lewis grabbed a knife from the kitchen and ran to the bathroom, where the couple continued to argue. Lewis then allegedly plunged the knife into her boyfriend's chest and hand, the arrest report said.
Lewis' boyfriend grabbed her and tried to hold her down, but she continued to stab him, the report said. According to authorities, the victim was stabbed five times: once in the chest, once in the leg and hand, and twice in the stomach.
It's not clear who called the Sheriff's Office, but deputies took Lewis into custody at the residence. She was booked with aggravated battery on Friday afternoon at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. She was released the same day on a $10,000 bond.
