Indianapolis, IN – Last week, a woman was arrested at an Indianapolis Days Inn after she accidentally stabbed a baby while attempting to stab a dog who ate her take-out food. As reported by WGNTV News, the Indianapolis Police were called out to the motel late Tuesday night after being alerted to a stabbing.
Officers found a one-year-old baby with a stab wound to her neck. They learned that the baby’s aunt, 32-year-old Sharon Key stabbed the child in the neck while trying to stab her own dog, who ate her Burger King chicken sandwich.
According to reports, Key angrily chased the dog around the motel room with a knife. When the dog jumped on the bed and Key tried to stab the dog, she missed and struck her baby niece instead.
The baby’s own mother, who was also in the motel room, immediately called 911 after the stabbing. Before the police arrived, Key fled and tried to hide, but she was found hiding in bushes on the motel grounds several hours later. She is facing a felony charge of criminal recklessness.
The baby’s grandfather is angry and wants to see Key punished, telling the news agency:
It’s stupid, and at the same time, she’s a grown-up. She should have known that baby was sitting right there. I want the book thrown at her.”
According to the news agency, Key has a lengthy criminal history and a charge for stabbing a woman with a box cutter in 2020.
The baby is expected to survive and the dog, a tan and white pit bull, was seized by animal control officers.
