A 23-year-old woman has been charged with attempted first degree murder after police say she stabbed a 61-year-old man in the neck Sunday during an argument about money.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. at 1121 N. Chamberlain Avenue, according to police.

Michael Davis told police that he and the woman, Carlisha Anderson, had been in a sexual relationship for several months. He said he’d been helping to pay for Anderson’s rent and other expenses during the relationship.

On Sunday, Anderson demanded more money from him, Davis told police. Instead of giving her more money, Davis told her that from then on, he’d only pay for her rent and not any of Anderson’s other expenses.

He said that Anderson then stabbed him in the neck with a sharp object and ran. Davis said he wasn’t sure what Anderson had used as a weapon, according to the affidavit.
