Photo: Michael Martinez Stabbed For Smacking Girlfriend's Sunburned Butt
After getting badly sunburned, Tiffany Sherry returned to her Pennsylvania home in pain. He boyfriend had no idea that one smack of the tush would land him the hospital.
Sherry, 24, burned her rear end in the sun and had informed her boyfriend, Michael Martinez, she was in pain. However, while Sherry was washing dishes in her Bethlehem home, Martinez thought it would be funny to smack his girlfriend’s bum as a joke, later telling police he knew it would sting, but thought it would be funny.
After the painful slap, Sherry grabbed a steak knife and followed Martinez out of the kitchen and into the room the room where he children were watching television.
Just as she poked him I the chest with the knife, she ordered her children to leave the room. Once they left, Sherry allegedly stabbed Martinez in the right shoulder and the upper part of his back while yelling, “I’m going to f*cking kill you!”
When police arrived at his residence, they reportedly found Martinez bleeding from a stomach wound and observed “two distinct cuts to the front and rear of [his] right shoulder area.” He was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment.
Sherry is being held in the Northampton County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bond and a preliminary hearing is set for August 16th. This is not Sherry’s first assault, as she was arrested in 2008 for stabbing a man with a fork while arguing over diapers.
She has been charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, making terrorist threats and reckless endangerment.
