A woman in Nashville, Tennessee reportedly stabbed her ex-boyfriend after he refused to cook for her, according to a Tuesday report from Fox News 17 in Tennessee.
Stranesha Buford, 29, was arrested Monday for stabbing the victim in the left side of his back. According to Davidson County's Active Inmate Search online, she received a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
An affidavit confirmed that the stabbing occurred July 26 at Buford's Dellway Villa apartment, which is listed as a Housing in Urban Development (HUD) apartment complex. The victim claimed that Buford asked him to cook her a meal, but he refused. Buford allegedly attempted to throw a glass at the victim but was unsuccessful.
The victim informed local law enforcement that he was able to restrain Buford, but only temporarily. While under restraint, Buford proceeded to stab her ex-boyfriend with a kitchen knife. The man continued to hold Buford down, but he let go of his hold when a family member arrived at the scene to pick him up.
A family member reportedly drove the victim to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to seek medical treatment for the stabbing, according to Nashville Patch, a local news publication. Fox News 17 noted that VUMC alerted Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) to the victim's incident.
Buford was admitted to Davidson County Jail and is being held on a $35,000 bond. She is also awaiting a trial date, which has not been determined.
A representative of the Metro Nashville Police Department and Vanderbilt University Medical Center did not immediately return International Business Times' request for comment.
