Woman loses fingertip after stabbing man

Gainesville Police arrested a Gainesville woman Wednesday after police said she stabbed a man and lost her own fingertip.

At about 4:50 a.m., Jamaica S. Hill, 20, broke a glass patio door and entered a home at the Crossing at Santa Fe Apartments, according to the police report.

Hill then went into the home and took a Samsung TV and other electronics valued at more than $300, according to the report.

She then entered the man’s bedroom and woke him up, at which point she pulled out an orange pocket knife and threatened to stab the man if he moved, according to the report.

When police later arrived, the man told them Hill stabbed his legs several times, according to the report. Authorities found a pocket knife and a fingertip in the room.

Police found Hill at an emergency room, missing the tip of her finger, according to the report. She reportedly told authorities she only entered the home when she saw broken glass and became concerned.

Authorities later found a TV stolen from the man’s house at the home of Hill’s girlfriend, according to the report.

Police arrested Hill on charges of aggravated battery, criminal mischief, burglary and larceny. They took her to the Alachua County Jail where, as of press time, she remains unsentenced.
