stabbing

In two unrelated incidents in the past four days, the Statesboro Police Department and Bulloch County Sheriff's Office each arrested women for allegedly stabbing men during family violence incidents.


Statesboro Thursday

The Statesboro Police Department charged Shakindra Monique Green, 36, of Statesboro, with aggravated assault (family violence) for an incident reported at 1:30 p.m. Thursday on Valley Road, in a residential area near Statesboro High School. Officers located the victim, who had a puncture wound to the neck, and gave him first aid until a Bulloch County Emergency Medical Service ambulance arrived, stated an SPD press release.

His injury was not considered life-threatening, police said.

Officers and detectives began an investigation and determined that Green had stabbed the victim in the neck with a pair of scissors during an argument, the release stated. Green was arrested without incident and taken to the Bulloch County Jail to await further court action.

The victim was transported to Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah for treatment, the police release stated. An earlier incident report identified the victim as a man, 36, with a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship to the suspect.


Brooklet Sunday

The second incident, unrelated to the first but also involving a woman allegedly inflicting a stab wound on a man, but with a steak knife instead of scissors, occurred before
6:30 a.m. Sunday and was investigated by the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office.

Sunday, the sheriff's department charged Venus Felicia Robinson, 50, of a Highway 119 Connector, Brooklet, address with aggravated assault (family violence) for allegedly stabbing her husband, Paul. The deputy responding to the call found Paul Robinson being treated by EMS. Venus Robinson, whom the deputy described as appearing very intoxicated, told the deputy that her husband had been beating her in the head when she "stuck" him in self-defense, but the deputy reported noticing no marks on her.

A witness told the deputy that the couple had gone to bed and that he heard the husband say, "Damn it man, you stuck me" and "... you stuck me again." The husband said his wife came into the room and began to annoy him, then stabbed him in his left side and, when he rolled over to defend himself, stabbed him in his right arm.
