- A 22-year-old woman has been arrested in Florida after she allegedly stabbed a pastor in the chest while he was sipping coffee in a café.
- Arieana Gibbs was arrested by deputies from the St. Augustine Police Department after she allegedly attacked Trinity Parish’s main pastor, Father Matt Marino, at approximately 8 a.m. on October 23.
- Gibbs had allegedly stopped her bicycle and approached Marino and his friend sitting at a table outside talking in Juniper Market. Law and Crime reports that she approached one of them, said, ‘pardon me,’ and then stabbed him beneath his collarbone.
- Before the assailant could return to her bicycle and ride away, Marino and his friend tried to repel her. In an attempt to stop her from going, the two men kicked the bike, but it didn’t work. The pastor was treated at a hospital in Jacksonville after suffering from a collapsed lung and internal hemorrhage.
- In the span of an hour, officials posted pictures of the scene and an old mugshot of Gibbs in search of her – identifying her as a ‘light skin black female approximately 5’3 100lbs last seen riding a black bicycle wearing a orange long sleeve top, tie dye pants and a black backpack’ on Facebook.
- She was soon arrested and charged with attempted second-degree homicide, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and felony simple assault.
