Woman told stabbing victim that ‘the devil told her to kill,’ Texas cops say

Police arrested a Texas woman on a charge of aggravated assault after she was accused of stabbing a man because the “devil told her to kill,” according to KWTX-10.

Officers found a woman who appeared to be injured at about 2:15 a.m. Monday near Rancier Avenue and 8th Street, according to Killeen police public information officer Ofelia Miramontez.

Police identified the woman as 30-year-old Ciero Bajoie-Johnson, per KWTX-10. When they approached her, she reportedly told officers to “kill me.”

Miramontez told the McClatchy news group that when officers tried to arrest Bajoie-Johnson, she resisted but was eventually detained.

Bajoie-Johnson’s victim was found by police and said he “had been sitting in a chair ... (when) the suspect came out of nowhere and stabbed him,” according to KWTX. The man was stabbed in the shin, the station said.

Through investigation, it was discovered a verbal altercation occurred with the male victim, causing her to attack him, Miramontez told the McClatchy News Group.

According to Miramontez, officers arrested the woman and took her to the Killeen City Jail. Bond was set at $100,000.

In Florida this week, a mother, who drove her minivan into a tree to try to kill her kids, told them “The devil can’t hurt you, he only hurts bad people. You have the light of Jesus in you and only Jesus can cure us,” witnesses told police, the Miami Herald reported.

Calicia Williams and her four children were all transported to the hospital after the crash on Wednesday, per the Herald. “The extent of their injuries is not clear,” according to the Herald.
