A 20-year-old Makaha woman told a friend that she stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife during an argument because she was “tired of being punched,” according to court documents.

Temari Wilson is charged with second-degree assault and first-degree terroristic threatening and will be arraigned in Circuit Court on Oct. 24. She is being held in Oahu Community Correctional Center unable to post bail of $20,000.

According to a police affidavit filed in District Court on Monday, a neighbor, who reported the incident to police, said Mark Wilson, 26, walked into her yard Oct. 6 and told her that his wife had just stabbed him on the left side of his stomach.

The incident was witnessed by Joshua Wilson, the victim’s brother, according to the police affidavit.

Joshua Wilson told police that Temari and Mark Wilson were arguing in their home on Lahaina Street at about 10 a.m. when he saw Temari Wilson open a kitchen drawer, take out a knife and stab the victim in the stomach. He said he then intervened and she fled.

A police officer responding to the scene spoke with another neighbor, who said she saw Temari Wilson hiding behind her trash can and appeared to be “scared and troubled.” Wilson told the neighbor — a friend — that she had “gotten into an argument with Mark because she was tired of being punched. So she grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Mark once and then fled,” according to the police affidavit.

Mark Temari was taken to a hospital in serious condition with a stab wound to the stomach.

Initially classified as second-degree attempted murder, the offense was later reduced to second-degree assault when she was charged. Bail also was reduced from $50,000 during her District Court preliminary hearing Wednesday.
