Florida Teacher Arrested for Aggravated Assault

(Brooksville, Florida) A 38-year-old teacher with Pasco County Schools, Amy Michelle Weaver, has been arrested for threatening her husband with a kitchen knife.

Weaver faces a charge of aggravated assault with a weapon without the intent to kill.

An arrest report shows she and her husband were both drunk in their master bedroom when an argument started over her not wanting him to watch TV.

Weaver's husband told deputies Weaver tried to turn the TV off with the remote, so he threw the remote under the bed, deputies said.

The report states Weaver's husband then picked the TV up, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it before leaving the house.

Weaver went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and followed him outside, presumably to cut his tires and prevent him from leaving, two witnesses in the home told deputies.

Weaver's husband approached her to try and calm her down, but she raised the knife over her head with both hands and "made a downward stabbing motion," he told deputies, according to the report.

Weaver's husband said he feared for his life and put his hands up before grabbing the knife out of her hands, deputies said.

Mrs. Weaver was booked into custody at the Hernando County Jail.
