Cops: Woman Allegedly Stabbed Ex-Boyfriend Over A Dog

An ex-girlfriend went barking mad over a pooch, according to police, and broke into her former flame’s apartment and stabbed him.

Raliyah Jones, 23, of Morrisville, was charged with criminal trespassing, simple assault, harassment, and criminal mischief following the incident at the Village of Pennbrook on Mill Creek Road in Falls Township.

Township police responded to the Village of Pennbrook at approximately 3:06 a.m. last Saturday after a report of an assault involving a stabbing.

At the scene, officers spoke with a man who identified Jones as his attacker and stated she was still inside his apartment.

The man and Jones were previously in a romantic relationship and had recently broken up, police said.

Jones allegedly arrived at the residence early last Saturday and was demanding the return of a dog the couple purchased together.

Police said Jones became upset upon discovering the man had another woman inside.

Jones broke into the apartment and allegedly destroyed the blinds on the rear entrance door, a television in the living room, and a television and computer monitor in a bedroom, police said.

The man got out of the apartment and Jones followed him outside before allegedly stabbing him in the upper inside portion of his right arm, police said.

The man described the weapon that stabbed him as a small knife, police said.

In court papers, police reported seeing a swollen, red, and actively bleeding puncture wound on the victim’s right arm.

The man was treated at the scene by ambulance crews for a non-life-threatening wound, police said.

Jones was preliminarily arraigned last weekend before on-call District Judge Charles Jonas and released on $15,000 unsecured bail.
