A 26-year-old corrections officer in Florida stabbed two sisters - including one who is pregnant - with a butcher knife early last Saturday during an argument over a man, authorities reported. Investigators charged Cachetta Ann Barnes with two counts of aggravated assault after the altercation. An arrest affidavit said Barnes stabbed 19-year-old Tikila Walker on the left arm. Tiffany Walker, Tikila's 24-year-old sister, heard a commotion near the door and went to Tikila's aid, the affidavit said. Barnes stabbed Tiffany Walker several times, investigators said, slashing her on the leg and arms. Investigators said Barnes then retreated to a relative's home, where she was arrested around. The sisters called 911 and were taken to Bay Medical Center for treatment. Tikila Walker, who is two months pregnant, was cut on her left arm, while Tiffany Walker said she had injuries on her arms, legs and hands. Tiffany Walker said Barnes had threatened the family before, and that their long-running feud centers on the father of Walker's child. Authorities said Barnes is a corrections officer at the Bay Correctional Facility, a private prison run by Corrections Corporation of America. CCA officials did not immediately return phone messages. |
