An Augusta County woman is in police custody after allegedly stabbing a male acquaintance Tuesday night.
Brittany Paige Sheffer, 42, of Churchville, is being held without bond at Middle River Regional Jail. She was arrested without incident and charged with malicious wounding.
The 47-year-old victim, whose name has not been released, suffered significant blood loss with stab wounds to his hand and leg, and his injuries were considered life-threatening. He was transported to UVA Medical Center for treatment.
Augusta County Sheriff Donald Smith said the incident was domestic and was “fueled by alcohol and a verbal argument.”
