Woman Stabs Her Roommate With A Pair Of Scissors Over Her Cleaning Habits

Laura Olson, a 29-year-old Florida woman was jailed Monday after she allegedly stabbed her roommate in the chest with a pair of scissors because she was unhappy with his cleaning habits.

According to police, Olson became unhappy with her new roommate, who she had subleased a room to just a week prior.

Olson was so unhappy, she went to the apartment complex rental office to have him removed, however apartment managers informed her that it was her responsibility to have him removed because she had subleased the room to him.

When Olson returned home from her visit to the rental office, she retaliated by grabbing a pair of scissors and then stabbing the victim in the chest while his son stood by in disbelief.

Investigators say Olson swung the scissors at the victim. When the victim grabbed her hands to prevent being stabbed, Olson allegedly used both hands to force the scissors into the man's chest.

"He grabbed her hands and attempted to stop the thrust, but she kept pushing," stated the arrest affidavit.

Following the stabbing, the victim called 911 and was transported to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center where he was treated for a puncture wound to his upper chest.

Olson reportedly stated that the victim had stabbed himself with a screwdriver, however investigators found no evidence to support her claim. A pair of scissors was recovered from a pond outside of the apartment.

Olson was booked into jail and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence.
