A Jefferson City woman was charged Friday in Cole County after she was accused of stabbing a man in his face.
Mia Guthrie, 29, was charged with first-degree domestic assault, two counts of armed criminal action and one count of unlawful use of a weapon. She is being held at the Cole County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.
The probable cause statement says Jefferson City police were called to an apartment on Alpine Court for a report of a domestic assault with a weapon. The victim allegedly called police and said he was stabbed in his face by Guthrie with a kitchen knife.
Police found the man lying in the middle of the road with a “severe” cut on his face that was “heavily bleeding,” court documents say. The statement says Guthrie arrived home about four hours late while she was drunk and started arguing with the victim before grabbing two kitchen knives.
A witness allegedly tried to restrain Guthrie, but she was able to swing around them and stab the victim, the statement says. The victim allegedly told police he grabbed a bat for protection.
The witness allegedly told police that the victim hit Guthrie with a bat and Guthrie stabbed the victim, the statement says. Police spoke with Guthrie who appeared to be drunk and “uncooperative with the investigation,” the statement says.
