MILLERSVILLE - County police have charged a Glen Burnie woman with murder in the stabbing death of her live-in boyfriend.
Phyllis Marie Amonica, 38, was charged with first- and second-degree murder yesterday after detectives searched the couple's home at 1 5th Ave. and interviewed witnesses.
Police were called to the home for a domestic disturbance just after 8 p.m. Tuesday and found 47-year-old James Gray Pfaff Jr. with a stab wound to his upper torso.
He was rushed to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he died yesterday morning.
Police said the couple got into an argument behind the home, then went inside, where the argument escalated. Police said Amonica stabbed Pfaff just inside the door.
Amonica also suffered cuts and was taken to shock trauma. Police did not say whether Amonica's wounds were defensive or self-inflicted.
She is being held on a no-bail status at the Jennifer Road Detention Center.
This is the ninth homicide in the county this year.
