Spring City Woman Stabs Husband In Back: Report

SPRING CITY, PA -- A Spring City woman reportedly stabbed her husband in the back at their home Sunday. The Pottstown Mercury reports that 56-year-old Mary Jane Fillman has been arrested and charged with aggravated and simple assault, reckless endangerment, terroristic threats, and related counts.

The incident occurred at around 4 p.m. at the couple's home on the 300 block of South Church Street, the report states.

The couple reportedly got into an argument - the husband called their daughter to say that her mother was "starting up with him" - which eventually led to the assault.

Court documents show that Fillman has a previous record of indecent exposure, marijuana possession, disorderly conduct, and public drunkenness, charges which were filed in mid-November.

Fillman was unable to post $50,000 bail and was sent to prison. Her preliminary hearing is set for December 15.
