A violent altercation in Brookfield, Wisconsin, has led to serious charges against a woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend during a heated argument over wedding plans. Kailee Brantner, 22, faces charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety with a dangerous weapon in a domestic abuse scenario, according to a criminal complaint.
The incident unfolded when police responded to a distress call from a man who reported that his girlfriend had stabbed him. Upon arrival, officers found the victim with a towel pressed to his neck, while Brantner was seen sitting on a couch nearby. A large kitchen knife, stained with red liquid, was also discovered at the scene.
The confrontation reportedly began after the victim discovered text messages between Brantner and his mother, which sparked a disagreement about using their residence as a wedding venue. The victim explained to authorities that he had returned home early from work and was met with an unprovoked attack from Brantner. The situation escalated as he attempted to retreat to the kitchen, where Brantner allegedly followed him, brandishing a knife.
During the struggle, the victim claimed that Brantner violently tore his shirt off before the altercation continued into the basement, where he felt the knife make contact with his neck. Both parties later admitted to physically assaulting each other, with Brantner expressing fears of being battered during the argument.
Court documents reveal that the argument intensified when Brantner’s boyfriend allegedly mocked her, suggesting that she would lose custody of her daughter. Following the incident, Brantner was arrested and released on a $3,500 bond. She has been ordered to maintain a distance of at least one mile from the victim until her court appearance, which is scheduled for the coming days.
The case has drawn attention on social media, with users commenting on the dramatic turn of events surrounding what was supposed to be a celebratory occasion. As the legal proceedings unfold, questions remain about the future of Brantner and her fiancé, as well as the implications of such a violent dispute in the lead-up to their wedding.
