Girlfriend Behind Behind Stabbing
BRIDGEPORT — A city man, stabbed in the buttocks yesterday by his girlfriend, told police he didn’t want her arrested.
“She’s a good person,” James Vines allegedly told officers.
Nonetheless, Christie Tucker was arrested and charged with second-degree assault.
Superior Court Judge Matthew Frechette ordered the 43-year-old Tucker held in lieu of $25,000 bond.
Vines, 43, showed up at the Police Department early yesterday bleeding from a stab wound in his left buttock.
Vines told police had been asleep in the bed he shared with Tucker in a West Liberty Street apartment when he was awakened by a sharp pain in his buttocks. Tucker, he hold police, was standing over him.
According to the police account, Vines yelled, “You just stabbed me!” to which Tucker allegedly replied: “That’s right, I stabbed you.”
Vines then reported the incident to police.
Tucker also allegedly told officers that she had tossed boiling water on Vines’ back last week, but he had not complained to police about that.
But.. but… I’m sure they’re happy, right?
