An apparent weekend argument over a television remote control led to a woman threatening her boyfriend at their Butler home.

But Valentina R. Tapia, 32, didn’t stab anyone. Instead, Butler police said, she attacked a dresser, with the knife.

Officers arrested Tapia after the early Saturday morning altercation at an apartment in the 100 block of South Main Street. She is being held in the Butler County Prison on $5,000 bail.

Police just after 3 a.m. were called to the apartment for a reported domestic dispute. The caller, believed to be Tapia, was angry that the suspected victim “would not give her the television remote,” according to court documents.

The defendant was screaming “at the top of her lungs” when officers got to the home, police said. She also appeared “visibly intoxicated,” they said.

Police separated Tapia and her boyfriend, Christopher Barnes, who recounted that the suspect staggered into his room, holding a knife, and told him, “I could stab you if I really wanted to,” documents said.

He said the defendant started stabbing his dresser. Officers inspected the dresser and found “puncture markings” on it. The knife, which they found under Tapia’s pillow, had wood dust, apparently from the dresser, on the blade.

She is charged with terroristic threats and simple assault.
