RUMFORD — A 39-year-old Rumford woman was charged with aggravated assault on Memorial Day after she stabbed her husband in the arm with a 13-inch butcher’s knife during a domestic dispute, police said Friday.
Terri L. Glover was charged after police responded to her home at 11:03 p.m. Monday, according to a news release by acting Rumford Police Chief Mark Cayer.
Rumford Patrolmen Douglas Maifeld and Peter Casey were responding to a 911 call of a domestic dispute when they discovered Glover’s injured husband. “The victim’s wound did not appear life-threatening, but it could have been worse,” Casey said.
Rumford’s domestic violence and sexual assault investigator, Detective Paul Casey, noted the incident was the third in Mexico and Rumford in the last month in which a knife was used as a weapon.
Casey said two of the three were incidents of domestic violence, and all three resulted in arrests.
Besides the felony-level assault charge, Glover also faces a misdemeanor charge of obstructing the report of a crime or injury, Cayer said.
Glover was booked at the Police Department and later released on $800 unsecured bail.
