27-YEAR-OLD STABBED AFTER ARGUMENT

A Vinton man was stabbed in the side Thursday night after he and his girlfriend argued over which movie to watch on television, Roanoke police said today.

David Lee Mauck, 27, was listed in satisfactory condition today at Community Hospital.

Police gave the following account:

At about 10:45 p.m., officers were called to the 1600 block of Queen Ann Drive Southeast, in the Jamestown public housing project.

They found Mauck lying on the doorstep of an apartment, bleeding from a stab wound to his left side. Inside the apartment, police found Mauck's girlfriend and three small children who had witnessed the stabbing.

Authorities were told that Mauck was stabbed after he and his girlfriend argued about which movie to watch. One of the children gave police the knife that was used.

Police charged Saundra C. Critzer, 27, of the 1600 block of Queen Ann Avenue, with malicious wounding. Youth Bureau officials took custody of the children.

In an unrelated stabbing Thursday night, a 20-year-old woman was treated and released from Community Hospital after a girl she gave a ride to stabbed her in the arm with a pair of scissors.

Trina S. Kasey of Cove Road Northwest told police she gave a 16-year-old a ride about 8:30 p.m.

As Kasey was driving, the 16-year-old tried to remove money from her coat pocket, she told police.

Kasey said she stopped the car on the 100 block of 18th Street Southwest and ordered the juvenile out, at which point she was stabbed in the upper arm.

Police have made no arrests but are continuing an investigation.
