Stacey Sylvester, 48, 1532 Delta Road, LaPlace, was apprehended at her home just minutes after the attack, which occurred around 6:47 a.m. Sunday at a home in the 1700 block of Creole Street, said Capt. Dane Clement, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office. Sylvester is being held at the Sherman Walker Correctional Facility in LaPlace on a $500,000 bond.
Clement said deputies who were called out to the Creole Street address found a 41-year-old woman inside with severe cuts all over her body. He said the woman and Sylvester were arguing when Sylvester began to stab her with the scalpel.
