BROOKSVILLE
Woman accused of stabbing ex-boyfriend
A 25-year-old Brooksville woman has been accused of aggravated domestic battery after authorities say she stabbed her ex-boyfriend and father of her child.
Brooksville police arrested Tanisha Nicole Gibson on Monday, eight days after she stabbed Fabian Avant at the Tanglewood Apartments on Union Street, according to a Police Department media release.
Avant told authorities who arrived at the complex on Aug. 22 that Gibson stabbed him during an altercation, the release said. Gibson fled after the incident, and Avant was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Gibson, of 27100 Roper Road, remained in Hernando County Jail on Tuesday in lieu of a $20,000 bail, jail records show.
