A 27-year-old woman pleaded not guilty Wednesday to stabbing her boyfriend in Lake Forest.
Kienna McKay Overstreet was charged Tuesday with assault with a deadly weapon and corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, both felonies, and faces sentencing enhancements for causing great bodily injury in a domestic violence incident and the personal use of a deadly weapon.
Orange County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 10:51 a.m. Saturday to the 24000 block of Raymond Way in Lake Forest regarding the stabbing, sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Woodroof said. The victim is a man she was dating, according to the criminal complaint.
The victim was stabbed several times and was taken to a hospital to be treated for “severe” wounds, Woodroof said.
Overstreet, who was being held on $75,000 bail since her arrest Saturday, entered a plea at her arraignment in the jail courtroom in Santa Ana and was ordered to return to court for a pretrial hearing Aug. 17 in the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach.
