Phyllis Jefferson, a 50-year-old Ohio woman, allegedly stabbed her boyfriend after complaining that he had been “eating all the salsa” they were sharing.

NBC News reports that police found Jefferson’s boyfriend, Ronnie Buckner, 61, bleeding outside his Akron, Ohio, home around 4 p.m. Sunday.

Jefferson had stabbed him with a pen after she started yelling about his salsa intake, NBC News reports.

She then tried to knock over his TV, and he had to catch it from falling, the police report said. As he watched TV, Jefferson retrieved a small kitchen knife and stabbed Buckner in the stomach, according to the report.

Jefferson fled the scene before police arrived but she was later apprehended on an interstate highway. After her arrest, Jefferson told detectives that she had stabbed her boyfriend because “she wanted to leave,” according to the report. She has been charged with felonious assault and criminal damaging, police said.

Jefferson’s boyfriend was taken to a local medical facility with non-life-threatening injuries.
