WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania woman chased her boyfriend around a dining room and stabbed him in the chest because he started eating Thanksgiving dinner while she slept off a bender.

Authorities say Jacklyn Blake confessed to officers who responded to her Wilkes-Barre (WILKS’-ba-ree) home Thursday. Officers found her boyfriend inside holding a towel over his chest. He was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The 47-year-old Blake is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, simple assault, reckless endangerment and making terroristic threats. It wasn’t clear if she has a lawyer.

According to police, Blake’s boyfriend says she’d been drunk earlier in the day and attacked him after waking up from a nap. He says she stabbed him and then threw the knife, striking him just below the left eye.

    Step 1:
    “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol— that our lives had become unmanageable.”

  4. You know, he should probably avoid disclosing to her that he sometimes, uh, satisfies his own needs. No telling what she’d do with that knife.

  5. Help me out here. I’m not sure how to fill in the blank in this sentence:

    According to the NRA, the situation would have had a better resolution if the ___ had a gun.

    Should it be:
    –girlfriend?
    –boyfriend?
    –couple?
