"Salsa stabber" pleads guilty
AKRON, Ohio -- A northeast Ohio woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend after yelling at him for eating all of the salsa has pleaded guilty to reduced charges.
Ronnie Buckner told officers he was eating salsa with 50-year-old Phyllis Jefferson at his Akron apartment in March when she started complaining that he was eating all of it. Buckner said Jefferson then stabbed him with a pen.
Buckner said he tried to catch a television that Jefferson had knocked over when she grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him again.
Jefferson's attorney, however, says the stabbing happened after an argument over something else.
Cleveland.com reports Jefferson pleaded guilty to aggravated assault on Monday. She's scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 4.
