A 20-year-old Windham woman has been jailed on charges that she stabbed her live-in boyfriend in the aforementioned bit of his anatomy -- the right buttock, to be precise -- with a large survival knife.
State police say they responded to a report of a domestic dispute at a Main Street apartment in Windham. Upon investigation, they recovered a knife from the scene, and arrested 20-year-old Erin Ratel, who is charged with second-degree assault (a felony) and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a misdemeanor).
The victim was transported to Columbia Medical Center and treated for a puncture wound.
Ratel was arraigned in Windham town court and remanded to the Greene County Jail on $1,000 cash bail or $2,000 bond. She is due to reappear in court today, April 9.
