posted (December 31, 2014)

29 year-old Sandra Perez, an unemployed of 92 Jasmine Street, was also arraigned in Magistrates Court today for stabbing a man, who she claims tried to rape her.

Kenrick Pennil told police that on Monday they were on Cemetery Road when Perez stabbed him with a knife. He was given medical form and taken to the KHMH, where his injury was classified it as grievous harm.

Sandra Perez was then arrested and charged with grievous harm and use of deadly means of harm.

But, during the arraignment, Perez said that she had to stab Pennil because he tried to rape her, so she defended herself. She showed Senior Magistrate Frazer a white t-shirt which she says Pennil tore when they were struggling.

She was offered bail of $2,000, and the case was adjourned until February 23, 2015.
