Woman chokes, stabs guests at her home in north Lincoln, police say

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - A Lincoln woman is accused of stabbing and choking two guests at her home on Sunday.

Lincoln Police officers were called to a home near North 37th Street and Madison Avenue after a report of a stabbing just after midnight. Police spoke with two witnesses who claimed that 24-year-old Tatiana Iniguez had attacked them.

The women, along with two children, were visiting Iniguez’s home and made a comment about the home’s untidiness, especially considering the other two children who lived in the home.

During the interaction, Iniguez attacked one of the women and choked her, according to an arrest affidavit. The other woman stepped in to intervene, and police said that Iniguez began punching her in the head.

Iniguez later grabbed a knife and made a death threat before stabbing one of the women in the face, court records show.

Police observed a one and a half inch laceration below the woman’s right eye, as well as defensive wounds on her hands. Officers then secured the knife used in the alleged attack.

Four children were present at the time of the assault, police said. Officers also found an “extreme amount” of dog feces and dead mice in the home’s basement, and they found feces-covered clothes and towels scattered around the home.

The two children living in the home were placed with a family member.

Iniguez was arrested and later charged with second-degree assault and possession of a deadly weapon while committing a felony. Her bond was set at 10% of $25,000 on Monday.

She’s due back in court on March 14.
