WARWICK, RI -- A Warwick woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend in the chest with a kitchen knife on Christmas Eve was arraigned this morning in district court on a domestic felony assault charge.

As felonies are not adjudicated in District Court, Susan LaPlume, 43, of 22 La Rochelle Ave., did not enter a plea.

A felony screening has been scheduled for Feb. 2.

The police said LaPlume stabbed her boyfriend, Angel Gutierrez, 36, after he told her to leave the house because she was drunk. Gutierrez's injuries were minor, the police said.

A week and a half ago, LaPlume pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence and lost her license for three months, according to court records. She was also ordered into substance abuse counseling after pleading no contest to a charge of reckless driving in January 2007.
