A Florida model is accused of stabbing her boyfriend after the couple fought about his dog eating her marijuana.



Scott, however, told Sheriff’s Deputy Laughten Hall a different story. She claims that the couple was arguing over dinner plans, and that the argument became physical when she tried to leave the apartment. “During one of the many times during the argument, Wiggins walked into the knife and cut himself,” she told police according to the arrest report.

The judge set her bond at $3,500, and prohibited her from possessing a knife or being within 500 feet of her boyfriend.

The fate of the dog is unknown, but according to the Pet Poison hotline, marijuana intoxication in dogs can lead to “severe depression” and “walking drunk,” though it’s not considered fatal.

2. Florida Woman Forgives Ex for Stabbing Her 32 Times

A Florida woman has offered forgiveness to her former boyfriend after a judge sentenced him to life in prison for stabbing her 32 times nearly two years ago.

Robert Lee Burton Jr., 22, expressed remorse and begged for mercy prior to his sentence inside a Pinellas County courtroom in Clearwater, Fla., Monday afternoon. Burton blamed his rage on untreated bipolar disorder, but Judge Keith Meyer sentenced him to life in prison without parole for his assault on Melissa Dohme.

Burton pleaded guilty to an attempted first-degree murder charge in August.

He repeatedly stabbed Dohme, 21, Jan. 24, 2012, in Clearwater, Fla., and left her for dead, according to authorities. Police said Burton first stabbed her with a pocket knife and then grabbed a bigger knife to continue the attack.
