A Homestead woman is facing an attempted murder charge after police said she stabbed a man she met through social media after he called her a derogatory term for people with mental disabilities Sunday night.
Homestead police said the man told officers that he met ZRM, 22, online two days prior. An arrest report states she had invited him to her home in the 400 block of Southeast 35th Avenue and the two spent the night there.
According to the report, at some point, the man told officers that the two had gotten into an argument and at around 9 p.m., he began to pack his things and leave.
The man told police that M began to go through his pockets in an attempt to find “rolling paper used to smoke marijuana,” the report states.
The man said that he told M she was “retarded,” it states.
According to the report, M replied, “You wanna see retarded?”, took out a knife and stabbed the man once in the back of the neck.
He was treated at Jackson South Medical Center.
Police said M claimed self-defense, saying that the man punched her in the face.
But authorities said she “had no signs of injury and would not allow officers to photograph her.”
As of Monday morning, M was being held without bond in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
