Clarksville woman arrested for allegedly stabbing husband
Clarksville Police arrested a woman yesterday afternoon accused of stabbing her husband in a domestic dispute.
The report says officers were called to 922 Power St. around 4pm to the report of a man and woman fighting. Police found 24-year old Humberto Ignacio covered in blood and sitting on the front porch.
Ignacio reportedly said he was trying to leave the apartment with his step-son, which angered his wife—40-year old Siria Morales. Ignacio said he wanted to take the boy with him because Morales had reportedly slapped him in the past.
Ms. Morales allegedly stabbed her husband in the shoulder with a knife while he held her son and stabbed him again in the arm as he attempted to protect himself.
Police arrested Ms. Morales and charged her with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment, while Ignacio was treated for his wounds at Gateway Medical Center.

General Assembly to convene once more Thursday
Tomorrow is the final day of the 2012 Kentucky General Assembly and it will likely be a long one.
State lawmakers almost always set aside one day called a “veto day,” when they can over-ride any of the governor’s vetoes on the budget or elsewhere.
It’s unclear if there will be any over-ridden vetoes this time around, but State Senator Joey Pendleton says it will likely be a long day.
One major item left over this year is the state road plan, which State Senator Joey Pendleton says likely won’t include much new construction of roadways.
Initial design work on the northeast bypass around Hopkinsville is already funded, but the actual construction will likely not be funded in this year’s road plan, according to Senator Pendleton.
The General Assembly will also deal with the “pill mill bill,” which would require doctors across Kentucky to subscribe to the “KASPER” computer prescription tracking system to cut down on people who go to multiple doctors to get the same addictive medications.
