Woman Attacks Her Mom With A Knife For Complaining About A Bloody Pad She Left On The Counter

Yakia Lashonta Mays, a 35-year-old Dallas woman was jailed Tuesday after she allegedly attacked her mother with a knife when her mother complained about a bloody tampon that had been left on the bathroom counter

According to Dallas police, an argument ensued between Mays and her 52-year-old mother when the mother complained about a bloody tampon that had been left on a bathroom counter.

In retaliation, Mays allegedly grabbed a knife from the kitchen, raised the knife and began charging towards her mother with it. The victim, who shares the apartment with Mays, ran to a back bedroom and locked the door to escape the attack.

Mays was enraged further and responded by attempting to break down the door while shouting "Bitch, I am going to stab you in the middle of your fucking forehead," according to the arrest affidavit.

When officers arrived at the apartment, they noted that the bedroom door was heavily damaged and nearly broken off its hinges. The knife was reportedly found on a nightstand in Mays bedroom.

Mays was booked into the Dallas County Jail and charged with felony aggravated assault. She is currently being held in lieu of a $25,000 bond.

Court records show this is not May's first assault with a deadly weapon. In July 2006, Mays was charged with aggravated assault and was sentenced to four years probation.
