(La Porte County, IN) - We’ve obtained more details in the recent stabbing of a man in the chest at a motel outside Michigan City.

 

Heather Kist, 30, of La Porte is charged in the stabbing on March 6 at Dunes Inn near Franklin St. and Interstate 94.

 

According to court documents, the man and woman after a night drinking got into an argument over her alleged use of drugs. At one point, Kist allegedly grabbed a knife from the man’s boot and began waving it around until stabbing him in the chest.

 

According to court documents, she drove him to nearby Franciscan Health and left.

 

Police said the victim, Vincent Crowsley, had an artery close to his heart punctured and, despite internal bleeding, managed to speak to police while nurses applied pressure to the wound to slow the bleeding prior to surgery.

 

Kist was arrested two days later at a motel in Knox.  She could face an up to 16 year sentence on a Level 3 felony charge of aggravated battery.
