A Metlakatla woman was arrested for allegedly stabbing her husband to death early Saturday morning. 33-year-old Jade Jordan is being charged with one count of criminally negligent homicide.
Police said when they arrived at the residence in the early morning hours, they saw Jordan standing in the driveway with dried blood on her. Her 36-year-old husband, Kevin Jordan, was lying face down in the driveway with stab wounds. Medics took him to the local medical clinic, where he was later pronounced dead.
The couple’s two children were home at the time.
Alaska State Troopers from Ketchikan assisted the next morning. They said Jordan told them that she and her husband had been drinking and were arguing and pushing each other that night. That’s when she stabbed him near the left clavicle with a kitchen paring knife.
The public defender’s office in Ketchikan is representing Jordan. They did not immediately return a request for comment.
A preliminary hearing is set for September 5th in the Ketchikan Courthouse.
