A Bellingham man suffered a gash to his cheek early Sunday, Nov. 11, when his girlfriend attacked him with a 6-inch serrated kitchen knife, police said.
Rosalie Johnson, 18, was arguing with her 27-year-old boyfriend about 2 a.m. at their apartment on Sterling Drive when she picked up the knife and cut him across the cheek, said Bellingham police spokesman Mark Young.
She ran outside. Police dogs tracked her to the nearby Sears parking lot.
Johnson was booked into jail on suspicion of domestic violence assault in the second degree. Court records show she has a history of domestic violence.
Young said the boyfriend’s wound was superficial, so he didn’t need to go to St. Joseph hospital.

BLAINE — A man accused of breaking two of his former girlfriend’s teeth was arrested early Tuesday, July 10.
The pair got into an argument at a home on Anderson Road after the woman told Richard McComb Cunningham, 32, she was going to start seeing someone else, said Whatcom County Undersheriff Jeff Parks.
About 2 a.m., Cunningham pummeled the woman in the face with his fists, breaking two teeth and leaving her bleeding from the nose, Parks said. He pushed her outside, then ran from the house. Police dogs tracked him down about three-quarters of a mile away.
Cunningham was booked into Whatcom Couny Jail about 4 a.m. on investigation of domestic violence assault in the second degree.
