| Dedham Police: Argument over meteor shower viewing ends with stabbing - Daily News Transcript Posted: 27 Aug 2010 03:05 PM PDT Police said they arrested Kayla Miconi, 39, of Flintlocke Lane for on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after she stabbed a man in the shoulder during an argument on Friday night, Aug. 13. Police were sent to her address at 8:50 p.m. after getting a report about a stabbing, Lt. Robert Nedder said. While en route, dispatch said that the woman involved in the stabbing, Miconi, had fled the scene and was walking up Greenlodge Street, and Officer Michael McMillan indeed saw her walking there, Nedder said. McMillan got out of his car and Miconi shouted, "I had to defend myself. I told him I was going to stab him," Nedder said. McMillan then handcuffed her, according to the police report. When Officer Keith Kennedy arrived at the home, he saw a man walking in the driveway whose shirt had been soaked in blood, Nedder said. Kennedy saw a stab wound on his left shoulder, and Sgt. Richard Keane found the knife inside the residence, Nedder said. The victim said that Miconi began arguing with him, then got violent and "hit him with the knife," Nedder said. He was taken to a hospital for treatment, he added. Miconi, who smelled of alcohol, insisted that she was defending herself, Nedder said. She said the man was supposed to go watch a meteor shower with her but didn't, they argued, she got nervous he was going to get physical, and defended herself with the knife, Nedder said. But that was just one of the stories she told an officer, Nedder said. She was also charged with attempt to commit a crime, murder, intimidating a witness, and domestic assault and battery, Nedder said. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in Dedham District Court Aug. 16, and is due back there for a pretrial hearing Sept. 10, he said.

| Perseid meteor shower close to peaking - msnbc.com Posted: 12 Aug 2010 04:13 PM PDT SEATTLE - With clear conditions Thursday night, you will have a chance to see one of the most dependable meteor showers of the year - the Perseids. The shower is already producing 25 meteors an hour. It should peak early Friday morning with rates of up to 75 meteors per hour. University of Washington astronomers say the shower happens every August as the Earth intersects the orbit of dust particles left behind by the Swift-Tuttle comet. The best view of the Perseids is found away from city lights. They will likely be more visible after midnight Thursday, looking generally to the east or northeast. Incidentally, Thursday evening just at dusk, you'll likely be able to see the planets Venus, Mars, Saturn and Mercury clustered close together in the low western sky. The UW Astronomy Department website has more tips for viewing the Perseids: http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/balick/perseids.html NASA has set up a live video/audio feed of the Perseids shower: http://www.nasa.gov/connect/chat/perseids_2010.html This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
