07:26 AM EST on Friday, December 26, 2008
WARWICK –– A woman stabbed her boyfriend in the chest with a kitchen knife on Christmas Eve after he ordered her out of the house because she was intoxicated, the police said.
Susan LaPlume, 43, of 22 Larochelle Ave., was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, while rescuers tended to the boyfriend, Angel Gutierrez, 36. His injuries were minor, the police said.
Just a week and a half ago, LaPlume pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence and lost her license for three months, according to court records. She was also ordered into substance abuse counseling after pleading no contest to a charge of reckless driving in January 2007.
LaPlume is expected to face arraignment on the assault charge today in District Court.
