Woman Charged in Stabbing

Frances Sanders, 53, of 23 Temple St.,  Apt. 304, Nashua, was arrested May 30 for allegedly stabbing a man with a knife. She was charged with first degree assault, a class A felony.

Police were called to an apartment building May 30 at about 9 a.m. in reference to a report of a bleeding subject.

Sanders, who was still on scene upon police arrival, was placed under arrest. The victim was subsequently treated and released at a local hospital for non life-threatening injuries. Sanders and the victim were known to each other.

The class A felony is punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment, exclusive of fines. Sanders was being held on $10,000 cash or surety bail pending an upcoming arraignment in the 9th Circuit Nashua District Division Court on May 31, 2012.
