Police: Woman Stabbed Husband For Not Getting Out Of Bed
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — A South Texas woman was charged with aggravated assault after police say she stabbed her common law husband because he wouldn't get out of bed.
Officers were called on Wednesday to a Corpus Christi home where the husband told police that his common law wife, 39-year-old Melinda Hinojosa, had hit him on the head with a pot and punched him three times in the face.
Police say the man told officers that Hinojosa then grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him in his left hand.
Hinojosa was arrested. She is being held in the Nueces County Jail on a $30,000 bond.
Jail records did not list an attorney for her.
Police say Hinojosa's husband declined medical treatment for his injuries.
