A judge ordered Thursday that a Lexington Park woman remain jailed in lieu of $10,000 bond on a charge of first-degree assault filed by police alleging she stabbed a man at his home with a screwdriver.
Mary Agnes Morgan, 39, had blood on her clothing, legs and feet, court papers state, when police responded Tuesday night to Kevin Eugene Watts' residence off Chancellor's Run Road.
Watts told law officers that Morgan "stabbed him in his chest with a sharp object for unknown reasons," according to a statement of probable cause filed by detective Leo Nims of the St. Mary's Bureau of Criminal Investigations.
Watts initially was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, police report, before a helicopter crew flew him to the Washington Hospital Center for treatment of his injuries.
Morgan "admitted to being in an argument with [Watts], but would not admit to any further," the detective wrote in charging documents.
