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.
