Kailee Brantner, Brookfield, Wisconsin bride to be stabs fiancee in the neck with kitchen knife after argument over wedding venue escalates.
‘For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health; will you love, honor, and cherish him/her/them for as long as you both shall live?’
A Wisconsin woman stabbed her boyfriend in the neck after getting into an argument with her future mother-in-law over the couple’s wedding venue, authorities said.
The fiancee of Kailee Brantner, 22, of Brookfield, ‘had woken up to text messages and screenshots between the defendant and his mother, and this caused an argument’ over using the couple’s home as a wedding venue, according to Fox 6.
Brantner then allegedly instigated an argument — which soon turned violent.
The victim, who was not identified, told cops that he initially pushed his aggressive fiancee away after she ‘attacked him without warning’ when he returned home from work early, according to a criminal complaint.
However, Brantner followed him into the kitchen, where she grabbed a knife.
‘The defendant attacked him and tore his whole shirt off,’ the document alleged.
The victim told cops he went to grab his things in the basement with the knife-wielding Brantner following only for the bride-to-be lunging at him and ‘swinging a couple of times,’ slashing the victim, who ‘knew he was bleeding but did not know where,’ according to the complaint.
Brantner swung the knife several times at the victim — hitting him in the neck twice, causing him to drop to his knees, according to the criminal complaint, GMToday.com reported.
Brookfield Police Department detectives arrived to find the victim holding a towel to his bleeding neck — and Brantner sitting by herself on the couch. She told police that she brought the towel for the bleeding man.
During a search of the home, cops recovered a bloody, pink-handled knife from the kitchen.
Brantner claims she was acting out of fear her boyfriend would beat her, according to the complaint. The woman has since been charged with first-degree reckless injury.
Bratner who posted bond of $3500 is due back in court on Feb. 13.
It remained unclear if the couple intended to still marry. Each other.
‘You may now or may not kiss the bride/groom…’
