> said police spokesman Officer Kacey Donnell. "He
> refused and said that he'd get to it at halftime."
> 
> The couple could not be reached for comment, despite

> When officers arrived Sunday, they discovered a
> "large pool" of blood on the bathroom floor, hack
> marks on bedroom doors and Harris' 71-year-old
> husband sitting on a bathroom sink with a "large
> laceration" to his right leg.
> 
> Donnell said the husband had tried to "discuss the
> matter at more length with her" at halftime.
> Meanwhile, Harris grabbed an 8-inch butcher knife
> and chased her husband of 51 years into the bedroom,
> he said.
> 
> She allegedly began "stabbing at the door before
> gaining entry and flinging the knife at him,
> catching him in the lower leg," Donnell said.
> 
> Harris told police she argued with her spouse about
> hurricane preparations before she got the knife,
> which she was going to use to slice meatloaf.
> 
> According to the police report, Harris told the 911
> dispatcher that "she threw a knife at her husband,
> and now he is bleeding."
> 
> Harris was being held Monday in the St. Lucie County
> jail.
