A married couple’s quarrel in front of a Lakewood middle school got out of hand when the man allegedly stabbed his wife in the head with scissors.
Pierce County prosecutors charged the 49-year-old husband with first-degree assault. He pleaded not guilty Monday and was ordered held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
Charging papers gave this account of the incident Friday: The couple went to pick up their daughter at Woodbrook Middle School and began arguing about a change in their plans.
Witnesses said they saw the husband grab a pair of scissors out of their van and repeatedly stab his wife. Two people intervened and held the man down while others called 911.
