An American woman has stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife in an argument that started when she accused him of opening a Christmas present early.

Misty Johnson, 34, of Rock Springs, Wyoming was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and battery, a felony, and misdemeanour domestic battery.

Her husband, Shawn Fay Johnson, 34, was treated at a hospital for a wound to the chest, police said.

Misty Johnson made an initial court appearance in which she requested a court-appointed lawyer, authorities said. She was released after posting bail, which was set at $US7,500 ($A8,760).

Authorities said Shawn Johnson called police to report that his wife had stabbed him. He told police that his wife started arguing with him over his opening a Christmas present, according to court records.

As the argument escalated, Misty Johnson accused her husband of having an affair, authorities said. Police found a marriage licence in the couple's apartment stating they were married in late September.

Police Detective David Thompson said he did not know what the present was, or if it was intended for the husband.

Ha! Thats what happens when you peek.
 
Merry Christmas! *stabby stab stab stab*

Hell in a handbasket.
 
anyone who opened their presents early...may that be a lesson to yous! :cmad:
 
Sigh, what is the world coming to when someone gets stabbed over a present.
 
I'm sure the alleged "affair" was just a side issue.
 
Hmm...I wonder if the public oppinion would have been the same if the husband stabed the wife:whatever: Anyway, this thing is just sick.
 
I wonder what would have happened if she had a kid who opened the gift early:huh:
 
The kid would get stabbed. Next year it wouldn't open it's presents early.
