Woman's ex-lover stabbed; two held
Jacksonville police Tuesday night arrested a couple accused of stabbing the woman's ex-boyfriend multiple times last week.
According to a police report, officers took 29-year-old Demetrius Goldsberry and 27-year-old Jennifer Bolton into custody just after 7 p.m. in the 100 block of Union Street. Police said they attacked James Cason on Friday night after he arrived at their trailer.
Goldsberry had started a relationship with Bolton after Cason was "locked up" for six months, police said. Cason went to the trailer at 300 Taylor Road in search of property that was removed from his residence, which he previously shared with Bolton. Cason and Bolton also have a child together.
After Cason knocked, Goldsberry emerged from the front door and stabbed him in the throat, police said. Cason didn't realize he'd been stabbed until he felt blood running down his neck, police said.
The report said Goldsberry pinned Cason to the ground and hit him two more times. Cason said Bolton also stepped outside, and she stabbed him in the back of his left shoulder, according to reports.
Cason told police that he was able to escape, but his assailants chased him until he stepped onto a different trailer's front porch.
Goldsberry and Bolton had fled by the time officers arrived, according to reports. Cason was taken to Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock and placed on a ventilator, which was later removed, police reported. He'd been stabbed in the front of his neck, on his back below his left shoulder and on his left hip.
Goldsberry and Bolton were booked into the Pulaski County jail Tuesday evening. Goldsberry was charged with first-degree battery, and Bolton faces a charge of first-degree domestic battery.
