GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A woman has been formally charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide after allegedly stabbing a man she met on Craigslist.
On Tuesday, 25-year-old Octavia Lindsey appeared in Brown County court and had a $50,000 cash bond set. Lindsey is due back in court August 5.
Both Lindsey and the victim, Kevin Day, blame each other for instigating the altercation.
Day says he put an ad on Craigslist looking for someone. After contacting Lindsey, Day went to a De Pere apartment. Day undressed, got on the bed and says she joined him but then stabbed him.
The two struggled, and she eventually offered to take him to the hospital. He passed out, but eventually Lindsey allegedly dropped him off at Bellin Hospital, according to the criminal complaint.
Doctors said Day had several lacerations, including a 7-9″ puncture wound just below and to the side of his neck.
Lindsey told police she was the victim and she was defending herself. She didn’t want to have sex with Day and was resisting his advances when she stabbed him, the complaint states.
