A woman from Florida has been released on bond following an alleged attempt to murder her boyfriend during a dispute over a television, according to police reports.

Teariney Dixon, aged 37, faced arrest on April 11 related to a domestic altercation at her boyfriend’s Tallahassee residence. As detailed in a probable cause affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime, the boyfriend contacted authorities reporting that Dixon was “trashing his apartment” and that their argument had turned physical.

Upon arrival, Tallahassee Police Department officers observed “blood throughout the apartment,” as described in their report.

The boyfriend declined medical treatment after informing officers that Dixon had “cut him with a knife.” The affidavit states the confrontation began when the boyfriend accused Dixon of infidelity. Upset, he demanded that she leave, but she refused to do so.

The affidavit further reveals that the boyfriend had recorded their entire altercation on his home surveillance system, which he presented to the officers. Following the verbal clash and Dixon’s refusal to vacate, a physical confrontation erupted, during which Dixon allegedly struck her boyfriend in the face and subsequently locked him out.

After the boyfriend forced his way back into the apartment, Dixon allegedly brandished a kitchen knife measuring 5 to 7 inches in length. During this time, she insisted that she would not leave without possessions she claimed as hers, including a black purse and a TV. The boyfriend argued that the purse was his property, having purchased it for her, and proceeded to empty its contents.

Dixon then allegedly started making slashing motions at her boyfriend with the knife, cutting his finger. While still holding the knife, Dixon grabbed her boyfriend by his hair and tried sawing off his dreadlocks, police said. In response, the boyfriend removed Dixon’s wig. At some point, police said he was able to get the knife away from Dixon and bring it back to the kitchen.

Dixon then gathered her belongings and went home.

Police tracked Dixon down the same night and questioned her at her apartment. After being read her rights, Dixon allegedly provided a truncated version of what transpired at her boyfriend’s apartment, but corroborated the story that they had argued over which items belonged to whom. Police said she claimed that she did not remember what happened and denied that she tried to kill her boyfriend.

Dixon was arrested at her home and charged with attempted murder. She was booked into the Tallahassee Detention Center on April 11 and posted bond the following day. Her next court date was not available.
