GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - Alachua County deputies arrested Lakeyra Ross, 43, of Gainesville Wednesday night after she allegedly assaulted and attempted to stab a man with an electric drill.
Deputies say Ross also pulled out a pocket knife during the fight and hit the victim multiple times in the head and neck area, causing deep cuts in the victim’s neck.
After trying to leave, Ross pulled the victim back by his undershirt before he eventually got away, running outside.
Once outside, Ross grabbed the drill and attempted to stab the victim in his shoulder, leaving a bruise on his shoulder consistent with a drill bit, according to deputies.
The victim lives with Ross, making the incident domestic in nature.
She is being charged with aggravated battery and assault.

She was determined to finish the job.
Wonder what the triggering factor was?

Drill Baby, Drill?
She told the cop:
It’s just my Drill, Sargeant!

Black and Decker.
It was the hammer drill she uses in her dental practice.

Victim makes a statement: “It all went downhill after she asked me if her new leather jump suit made her look fat?
Maybe she didn’t like my answer!”
To: bunkerhill7
That would explain the aggravated battery charge.

How do you pull back a man by the collar if you have a knife in one hand, and a drill in another.

Doomed from the moment her Mother named her. Notice I didn’t say Mother and Father? I’m betting Dad was a sperm donor, and wasn’t in the picture when Lakeyra was born.

“Felt like it. That’s all.”
