A
Greenback woman was arrested this week after allegedly attacking her
boyfriend with a kitchen knife during an argument.
Blount County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested
Holli Nichole Myers, 25, Maple Lane, Greenback, on two counts of
aggravated domestic assault. She was being held in lieu of bonds
totaling $30,000 pending a 9 a.m. hearing today in Blount County
General Sessions Court.
Deputies responded to Myers’ residence at around 6:45
p.m. Monday after her boyfriend, a 32-year-old Greenback man,
reported the assault, according to a police report.
The man told deputies Myers had been drinking and was
upset about family issues and began taking it out on him, the report
said. He said Myers began yelling and calling him names, then
started hitting him after he put down their 4-month-old child.
He alleged Myers then grabbed a knife and started
cutting him. After a lengthy struggle, Myers took the baby and left,
he said.
Deputies reported the man’s shirt was torn and cut in
several places. He also had several cuts on his stomach and chest,
along with a cut on his left ring finger, according to the report.
The man declined medical attention.
Deputies said they found Myers at a Maryville
residence. She said her boyfriend threatened her after she told
him she wanted to break up, according to the report. Myers also
said her boyfriend attacked her by throwing her to the ground,
banging her head on the ground and biting her left hand.
Myers denied a knife was used and said she
believed her boyfriend cut himself to get her in trouble,
deputies said. They observed discoloration on Myers’ left hand,
neck and knee.
Deputies arrested Myers as the primary aggressor
and contacted the state Department of Children’s Services about
the incident. The child was returned to Myers’ boyfriend.
