A Wilkes-Barre, Pa., woman was arrested Thursday after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend because he began eating Thanksgiving dinner while she slept off a drinking binge.

Police said Jack-Lyn Blake, 47, met officers at the front door of her Madison Street home shortly before 6:30 p.m. and admitted to stabbing the man.

The victim, who was standing in the doorway holding a towel over his chest, told investigators Blake had gone upstairs to sleep earlier in the day after becoming intoxicated, police said.

Hours later, when Blake came back downstairs and found him eating dinner, she allegedly became enraged.

Wow, and I thought it was a big deal because my then-separated parents would get into arguments before and after holiday meals. The most fascinating part of the article is where it states that she had been previously arrested for threatening to kill her boyfriend in his sleep. They did not stipulate whether this was the same boyfriend…it is beginning to appear to be a bit of a 'trend' with her.

First for her drinking problem and then for the underlying issues. Sadly she will probably not get either.

and sitting down to eat with the guy wasn't an option.
