Eagan woman charged in alleged stabbing
Angela Stevens
An Eagan woman faces felony assault charges after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend with a knife.
Angela Marie Stevens, 22, was charged on Aug. 25 in Dakota County District Court with one count each of second-degree and third-degree assault and terroristic threats, all felonies.
According to the criminal complaint, Stevens assaulted her boyfriend with a fillet knife at their apartment on the 3500 block of Lexington Avenue on Aug. 22 upon discovering photographs on a computer flash drive that angered her.
Stevens allegedly stabbed the man on his left forearm, upper outer biceps area and deeply cut his left wrist. There were eight cuts on the man’s body, which included a 3-inch slice to the inner portion of his right hand stretching from his pinkie to the pad of his thumb, according to police.
The man was driven by Stevens at about 5 p.m. to Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville, where the police were called. Officers arrived at approximately 6:20 p.m., and spoke with a nurse who said the man initially told her he somehow cut himself with a fillet knife but once Stevens left the room, he told the nurse his girlfriend assaulted him during an argument over the flash drive, according to the complaint.
The man allegedly confirmed the nurse’s account and told officers Stevens had assaulted him in the past, but that it hadn’t escalated beyond pushing and hitting.
He said Stevens began hitting him with her hands and a remote after finding the content on the flash drive. She then came after him with a knife, according to the complaint.
The man told police “it was like I was fending for my life, really.” He said he tried to block the knife with his right hand and was cut by the blade. The assault allegedly continued until he received the deepest cut on his wrist. Stevens allegedly saw the injury and stopped.
The man told police that during the assault, Stevens repeatedly said she was going to kill him.
Officers met up with Stevens in the hospital lobby and she initially told them she found her boyfriend injured when she arrived home causing her to believe he had cut himself while filleting fish, according to the complaint. After being questioned further, Stevens allegedly said she pushed her boyfriend after finding the photographs and he fell into a counter which cut him.
She then whispered to the officer, “he cheated on me,” and began to sob, according to the complaint.
Stevens was arrested but is now out on bail.
If convicted, Stevens could face up to seven years in prison for the second-degree assault charge and up to five years in prison for the third-degree assault and terroristic threats charges.
She is scheduled to appear in a Dakota County court at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 10.

Wow, you must get off to ruin someones life like this, you dont have the facts and you play it up to make her seem like a horrible person just to get a story…typical media. You seem to have failed to mention what kind of pictures, oh and video…oh yeah sex pics and video he recorded himself, with another woman cheating on her…would you be upset? There obviously would be an argument…but do you know what kind of person he is? Or how he acted when he got caught, how about the bruises around her neck and body from him? You failed to mention that, wouldnt you try and defend yourself if your boyfriend who is bigger and stronger than you had his hands around your neck? How about his heavy drinking? And she is the one assulting him? Funny how he changes his story to be the victim, good job on making him out to be a nice innocent guy.
^ you sound like a relative or friend of this fruitcake. Maybe you missed the part that she freaked out about pictures?? It wasn’t the fact that he was hitting her and she was defending herself. She STABBED him after finding a flash drive. Umm… you break up with someone for that. You don’t try to kill them.
I know them both as a friend, she did not come at him with a knife to kill him, she was going to cut the cord on the the external hardrive that he had all this on, I know both of their characters and he royaly screwed her over to save himself, why would she drive him to the hospital if she was trying to kill him? as far as freaking out over pics and video hmm how would u react seeing pics and videos of your significant other cheating? And he wasn’t stabbed with a knife, it was a pen which was the nearest object as his hands were around her neck! You don’t know them like I do, not saying either is totally innocent but this story is definitely inaccurate.
Drinking and anger/violence come hand and hand she doesn’t drink, he does…a lot you have know idea what he has done to her before…but he is the victim?, I would say u are quite ignorant to believe the media, they play everything up to get a story, you call her a fruitcake? What the Hell do u think he is? You don’t know them at all obviously but you are pathetic to believe this article.
I know angela and this article is not who she is as a person. she is kind hearted and a wonderful person. i didn’t know her bf but this is completely something she would not do out of anger. you don’t know her. name calling is completely immature. so until you know her don’t judge her.
Sounds like this felon has a lot of friends with clouded judgements
And sounds like you are judging someone you do not know. how about i judge you? how would you like that? i don’t know you but i think you are an idiot.
In what way are there clouded judgments? You are quite ignorant to even say that to people that actually know both of them very well and their relationship history, he cheats and gets caught, she drove him to the hospital, if she were trying to kill him u really think she would drive him to the hospital, you think he would really go with her if that was the case? Why wouldn’t he call 911, who wouldn’t do that if u really thought your life was really in danger? The neighbors called the police after hearing HER screaming for help. She has bruises around her neck and body and he gets scared of getting caught and changes his story so he looks like the victim, and she is somehow the felon??? Wtf! Then after he screws her over like this he moves outta state, what a pathetic POS he is.
Sounds like you have clouded judgement and your friend L, who seems to be in the conversation. You should probably do your research before you start judging people who you do not know. Have you ever learned that newspapers are one sided, so you have no clue what the other person did and what the REAL story is. Think before you speak, get some education , you would probably sound much smarter as well as your friend L. This article is a joke and it is for entertainment purposes, also to ruin a young persons life. Not cool.
I wanted to mention Q, you sound so pathetic and like I said you and your friend L have no clue what you are talking about. I totally AGREE with R and B2, you guys are awesome !!
