MISHAWAKA – Police continue to investigate an incident in which a man was allegedly stabbed by his wife after the two got into an argument about drugs.

Police were called to an apartment in the 5500 block of Town Center Drive about 8:15 a.m. Wednesday on the report that a man had been stabbed.

Outside the apartment building, police reported, they found a 69-year-old man with a small wound to his chest who was alleging his wife had stabbed him with a kitchen knife.

Police found the man’s 53-year-old wife in the couple’s apartment, along with a knife with its handle broken off.

The husband told police that his wife was upset that he wouldn’t buy her drugs anymore.

He told police that after being stabbed, the knife was stuck in his chest and he had to break off the handle to remove it.

Besides stabbing him, the man said the woman also attacked him, leaving scratches on his face, neck and arms.

The man was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released. The case is continuing to be investigated by the St. Joseph County Family Violence Unit.

Now boys, it's not to fair to say all women have a nut loose during PMS. The old bag should be behind bars.

If if this man didn't press charges against this women for stabbing, I thought it was the State's responsiblity to press charges against someone who has done something against the law.

I think "some guy" is right. Any thing that bleeds 12 weeks out of the year and lives has got to be evil and or insane!

Let me get this straight...a guy pushes his wife and he gets locked up. A woman STABS her husband and she is walking free. WTF! Another prime example that Indiana is woman/mother friendly and the men/fathers have little to no rights!

Were they legal or illegal drugs? Either way it sounds like she should have gone to jail for stabbing him.

Why did the woman not get arrested? If it was a man who stabbed a woman the man would be locked up. Lock the woman up!
