Sylvester man stabbed by girlfriend

SYLVESTER — A Sylvester man told police on Thursday he was stabbed by his girlfriend when she thought he was talking to another woman.

Sgt. Dean King with the Sylvester Police Department responded to the emergency room at Phoebe Worth Hospital around 4:30 a.m., where Christopher Martez Williams, 25, was receiving treatment for a knife wound to the abdomen.

Williams told King he was wounded by his girlfriend, Jamillia Jackson, 112 Carmen Lane, in Sylvester, as he sat in a car with his cousin, Sokoya Mitchell. According to Williams, he had earlier been to a nightclub and Mitchell had just driven him in her car to Jackson’s residence.

Williams told police that as he and Mitchell sat talking in the car, Jackson came suddenly from inside and stabbed Williams with a knife. Williams told King he didn’t realize right away that he’d been stabbed, so he continued to explain to Jackson that Mitchell was his cousin. When Williams felt something “running down his stomach” Mitchell drove him for medical treatment, Williams told police.

A warrant was issued Friday for Jackson’s arrest on a charge of aggravated assault, officials say.
