A Gaston County woman faces several charges after county police say she stabbed a woman who was pregnant with her husband's child.
The three lived together in a home on Hillcrest Road near Dallas.
Tabatha Logeais, 32, was charged with assault inflicting serious injury, communicating threats, and simple assault.
Police accuse her of stabbing Patty Simmons, 24, in the side. It happened when the two women got into an argument shortly before 6 p.m. Monday.
Simmons, who reportedly is six weeks pregnant, was stabbed in the side with a screwdriver and taken to Gaston Memorial Hospital. Her mother, Patsy May, 58, was treated for a wrist injury suffered when she tried to break up the fight. Family members asked the hospital not to release information about Simmons – or the condition of the unborn child.
According to witnesses' statements and police, the women got into an argument outside the home after Logeais told Simmons to move out. Police charged Logeais with communicating threats because they say she threatened to kill the baby.
