Charges in Hot Tub Party Knife Attack

(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte woman is accused of attacking two friends after a night of heavy drinking.

 

According to La Porte Police, 36 year old Erica Lumpp along with two other women and a man were in a hot tub together and drinking heavily last Saturday at a home on Keston Elm Drive..

 

At one point, police said Lumpp while getting out of the hot tub to grab an alcoholic beverage fell and busted her head open, but the gash was closed with super glue and they all returned to the hot tub.

 

A few hours later, an argument erupted and Lumpp allegedly stabbed the man with a small screwdriver. Lumpp then attempted to stab a woman with a butcher knife then punched her twice in the face, police said.

 

She could face anywhere from a one to six year sentence on each of two battery related counts filed in La Porte Circuit Court.
