Woman receives 28-month sentence in Lethbridge stabbing
LETHBRIDGE – A 23-year old woman who was found guilty of stabbing a 21-year old man four times over an argument last February, was handed a 28-month prison sentence Tuesday.
Peggy Ann Holy Singer was convicted following her trial last month and found guilty of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and breaching a recognizance that said she could not be in possession of a weapon.
Judge Paul Pharo found that on February 17, 2016, Holy Singer drove from Cardston to Lethbridge with three other individuals, all of whom were heavily intoxicated. After parking behind a home on the west side, an argument broke out between the victim and another woman. Holy Singer joined the argument and her and the victim agreed to fight, however he was not aware that she was armed with a kitchen knife.
With help from the other woman, Holy Singer stabbed the victim in the right cheek, bicep, chest and thigh, resulting in a punctured lung and other major injuries. She then went inside the home and hid the knife in a vent.
