Woman accused of cutting man with knife in assault

A woman was arrested at the Travel Inn on East Ninth Street in Hopkinsville Saturday morning after she allegedly cut a man with a knife.

The male victim told Hopkinsville police that he had let 35-year old Lashikka Anderson into his room for the night because it was cold and she needed a place to get warm.

When he asked her to leave in the morning, she reportedly refused and allegedly grabbed a knife and cut the victim across the back, causing a three-inch laceration.

She also punched and kicked the victim several times, according to the report.

Anderson, who initially gave officers a different name, was arrested and a search of her person and property allegedly turned up drug paraphernalia.

She was charged with second-degree assault, possession of drug paraphernalia and giving an officer false identifying information.
