BELOIT TOWNSHIP — Town of Beloit police arrested a woman this morning after her boyfriend was flown to a hospital with a life-threatening stab wound.
Police were called to the home of Tanya Y. Greer, 24, of 1938 Harrison Ave., Beloit Township, at 2:48 a.m. for a man bleeding from the neck, Sgt. David Dransfield said. There, they found Greer's boyfriend, James Holzbauer, 29, Beloit, suffering from a stab wound inflicted by "a very large kitchen knife," Dransfield said.
Police originally thought the wound was self-inflicted, but they later arrested Greer on initial charges of causing reckless injury, Dransfield said.
"She made some incriminating statements, which led to her arrest," he said.
The incident started as a verbal argument, and Holzbauer and Greer were under the influence of alcohol, Dransfield said.
Greer's children, a boy and a girl ages 8 and 9, were in the home at the time, Dransfield said.
Holzbauer was originally taken to Beloit Memorial Hospital and flown by helicopter to another hospital, though Dransfield said he didn't know which one.
