BURLEY, Idaho — A southern Idaho man has been charged with attempted murder after a detective said he cut a woman with a kitchen knife.
Joseph A. Price, 43, of Burley, is also charged with mayhem, battery and other charges, the Times-News reported. He has not yet entered a plea and calls to the Cassia County Public Defender’s office were not immediately returned. A phone number for Price could not be located.
Cassia County sheriff’s detective Lt. Kevin Horak said deputies responded to a Burley home earlier this week and found a woman who was severely bleeding, with injuries to her head, face and hands.
“Two of her fingers were severely cut,” Horak said, “and there’s a possibility that she’ll lose those fingers.”
Horak said deputies applied a tourniquet to the woman’s arm, and she was taken to a hospital for treatment.
