A 28-year-old Thornhurst Twp. man stabbed a woman three times Thursday, police charge.

State police responded to 16 Lily Lane in Thornhurst Twp. at about 9:20 p.m. for reports of a domestic dispute. Trooper William Fells spoke with Jacob Ortiz and Sarah Passalacqua, according to a criminal complaint.

Both Ortiz and Passalacqua told Fells they had argued but everything was now OK, police said.

Additionally, Passalacqua informed police that she would be leaving the scene with a friend, Thalia Thomas, Fells said in the criminal complaint.

County dispatchers later informed Fells that Passalacqua reported being stabbed by Ortiz, and that she would meet him at the entrance to the Thornhurst Country Club along with Thomas, police said.

Upon arrival, Thomas advised Fells that Passalacqua was afraid to tell him what happened while they were at the scene of the assault, according to the criminal complaint.

Thomas added that Passalacqua was afraid of Ortiz, and that she went back to the residence on Lily Lane with him, police said.

Fells returned to the residence around 10:08 p.m. and found Passalacqua in the driveway and Ortiz on the porch, according to the criminal complaint.

After Ortiz was told he was being detained, he pulled away from Fells and entered the residence to try to get away, leading Fells to wrestle him and place him in handcuffs, police said.

Passalacqua told Fells that Ortiz slashed the tires on her vehicle because she wanted to leave and stabbed her three times in the bedroom, according to the criminal complaint.

Fells observed blood on the wall and Passalacqua showed him lacerations on her stomach, left arm and back, police said.

Passalacqua told Fells that Ortiz used a knife with a four-inch blade — which police found in a basket — to stab her and slash two of her tires, according to the criminal complaint.

Emergency personnel transported Passalacqua to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Twp. for treatment of her injuries, police said.

Police charged Ortiz with aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, simple assault, criminal mischief and resisting arrest. Ortiz remained in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $75,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 29 at 11 a.m.
