Authorities say Jacklyn Blake confessed to officers who responded to her Wilkes-Barre (WILKS'-ba-ree) home Thursday. Officers found her boyfriend inside holding a towel over his chest. He was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

“I stabbed him," Blake reportedly told at least one officer.

The 47-year-old Blake is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, simple assault, reckless endangerment and making terroristic threats. It wasn't clear if she has a lawyer.

Blake was charged with simple assault, terroristic threats, harassment and possession of a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia for an incident in May which also involved Smith . Those charges were dropped in June.

According to police, Blake's boyfriend says she'd been drunk earlier in the day and attacked him after waking up from a nap. He says she stabbed him and then threw the knife, striking him just below the left eye. Police said two marijuana roaches were found in an ash tray following the incident Thursday.
