Laura Chavez did not pass go. She did not collect $200.
Instead, Santa Fe County Sheriff's deputies took the 60-year-old directly to jail after they say she repeatedly stabbed her boyfriend Wednesday after arguing during a game of Monopoly.
Police responded to a stabbing call at 1:21 a.m. Wednesday in the Casa Villita Apartments, 3330 Calle Po Ae Pi off Airport Road in southwest Santa Fe.
Deputy Kurt Whyte arrived at the apartment where he says he found the 48-year-old male stabbing victim, "bleeding heavily from his head and right wrist area."
Chavez, who police say admitted stabbing the man with a kitchen knife, was arrested and charged with aggravated battery on a household member with a deadly weapon, battery upon a peace officer, assault upon a peace officer and resisting or evading a police officer. She remained jailed late Wednesday in lieu of a $5,000 surety bond, according to an online jail database.
Her boyfriend, meanwhile, remained hospitalized late Wednesday but was in stable condition, according to Lt. Adan Mendoza.
Police say both Chavez and her boyfriend appeared to be intoxicated.
According to the statement of probable cause filed for Chavez's arrest drafted by Detective Andrew Quintana, Chavez and her boyfriend were playing a late Tuesday night game of Monopoly with her 10-year-old grandson. The young boy told police the couple began fighting because his grandma thought her boyfriend was cheating at the classic Parker Brothers game.
