A Garden City Georgia woman was freed Thursday from Chatham County jail on $3,000 bond after she accidentally stabbed her 1-year-old niece in the head during an argument over gas used during a trip to buy beer, according to a police report.
On Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., 43-year-old Lorraine Bulloch drove her brother to the store for beer, and when they returned home, she grew angry over the price of gas, according to a Garden City police report.
The argument escalated when Bulloch responded to her brother's name calling by grabbing a knife from a drawer and throwing it at him. Bulloch's brother ducked and the blade struck her 1-year-old niece in the head, a report stated.
The little girl was taken to Memorial University Medical Center where, as of Thursday night, she was listed in serious condition, according to Garden City Capt. Al Jelinski.
Bulloch was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and has a probable cause hearing scheduled for June 2 in Garden City Municipal Court, Jelinski said.
Initial reports from the scene Wednesday night indicated the stabbing victim was 3 years old and the argument was over beer.
