Woman Stabs Ex-Boyfriend, Then Crashes Into Several Cars In Macomb County: Prosecutor

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI — A 24-year-old woman is facing charges after she stabbed her ex-boyfriend and then crashed into several cars on Hall Road in Macomb County last week, according to prosecutors.

Laquinn Smith was charged with assault with intent to murder and aggravated domestic violence. She was placed in jail with a $250,000 bond. Her next court date was not immediately scheduled.

Prosecutors said the incident started on Dec. 11 at a Clinton Township apartment where Smith was living with her ex-boyfriend. They said the two got into an argument that resulted in Smith stabbing her ex-boyfriend twice.

After the stabbing, Smith left the apartment in her ex-boyfriend’s car, but was involved in a major crash that involved several other cars in the area of Hall Road and Romeo Plank in Sterling Heights, prosecutors said.

Officials did not report any injuries from the crash, which was still under investigation.

"Violence will not cure your problems—it only multiplies them. Those who choose to resort to violence will be held fully accountable under the law. Our office will pursue these cases aggressively to protect victims and to make clear that violence has no place in our homes or our community," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said.
