The Jerome Police Department arrested Tawna D. Huttanus for allegedly stabbing a man in the side of the face and neck with a sharp knife, according to an probable cause affidavit. Huttanus is a third grade teacher at Jefferson Elementary School, according to district officials.
On Sunday, Huttanus reportedly engaged in a verbal argument over custody of a child with an ex-boyfriend that turned physical.
An officer arrived on scene and found the ex-boyfriend in the passenger seat of a four-door sedan. The man was bleeding from his neck and told an officer, "She got me good."
Court documents say Huttanus was discovered holding a large kitchen knife and her and the ex-boyfriend's 2-month-old child. Officers were able to take the knife from Huttanus and separate her from her child.
The victim was taken St. Luke's in Jerome for medical treatment.
