The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Fort Walton Beach area woman on charges she stabbed another female nine times early this morning outside a business on Miracle Strip Parkway in Mary Esther.
24-year old Yoshaunda Timms of 3 Deal Avenue is charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm.
Investigators say the victim, 27 year old Maricia Knox, is in critical condition at Fort Walton
Beach Medical Center with stab wounds to the back, shoulder, and hip.
Deputies were called to Cash’s Liquor’s Sports Page Lounge at 757 Miracle Strip Parkway around one a.m. this morning in connection with a reported fight. Deputies say Timms and Knox went outside, where Timms stabbed Knox repeatedly. Witness Rebecca Adams says she was also cut when she went to assist Knox.
Timms told investigators the argument began on social media several weeks ago.
