ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Rockford Police arrested Willie Ann Fairley, 55, for allegedly stabbing a woman in the head with a kitchen knife.

“This is the knife she stabbed me with,” the woman told officials.

A witness reported she saw Failey grab a kitchen knife and stab the woman in the neck area, according to court records.
