BEAVER — Clallam County sheriff’s deputies arrested a 44-year-old woman Saturday alleged to have stabbed a man that afternoon after he refused to move out of the house they lived in.
Sgt. Brian King said Dana Rafmussen stabbed Corey Wine, 40, in the lower back with a two-pronged steak-carving fork while he was cooking at about 1:20 p.m.
Wine was treated at and released from Forks Community Hospital, he said.
The fork left two puncture wounds, but they were minor injuries, King said.
“The stabbing followed them arguing much of the day,” he said.
“She wanted him to leave,” King added. “He was refusing to leave.”
Wine and Rafmussen were living together in a travel trailer at 202531 U.S. Highway 101, King said.
Rafmussen, King said, was “heavily intoxicated” but cooperative when deputies arrived.
She was booked into Clallam County jail on investigation of second-degree assault, domestic violence.
A neighbor reported the stabbing after Wine came over seeking medical attention, King said.
The deputies recovered the fork while executing a search warrant.
The case is being forwarded to the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for consideration of formal charges.
