Pineville Woman Charged With Assault After Stabbing Her Boyfriend With Children Present
From the Bell Coutny KY Sheriff's Department -
On Monday, September 7, 2026 at 3:27 a.m., Bell County Deputies responded to a stabbing call at an Old Mocking Bird Lane residence in the Fourmile community.
While enroute, Deputy Chris Owens along with Pineville Officer Samson Churchwell were advised there was a man suffering from a stab wound at Pineville Community Health Center. Detective Hunter Luttrell and Deputy Keith Fuson went to the residence to make contact with the victim’s live-in girlfriend, identified as 33-year-old Heather Partin.
Deputy Owens and Officer Churchwell advised from PCHC that the victim and his live-in girlfriend had been arguing and “a demon stabbed him.” He added that Partin “gets drunk and acts crazy.”
Owens and Churchwell then joined the other deputies at the residence making entry to an open door where they saw blood. After calling out to the occupants without response, they made their way into the home, finding more blood in the hallway and the knife in question. Heather Partin was then found breathing, but not responsive in the back bedroom.
A small child was found under the covers. Also in the home was another child and elderly woman who later corroborated the statements of the victim.
Partin was read her rights after being subdued, then arrested, and exhibiting signs of heavy intoxication. She admitted to the officers that she stabbed the victim, but “she didn’t mean to kill him.” She also claimed she “threw” the knife at the victim, but evidence at the scene determined otherwise.
The victim was transported to UT Hospital with life-threatening injuries, but at last check he was stable. DCBS was also notified regarding the welfare of the children at the home.
Heather Partin was lodged in the Bell County Detention Center charged with assault – 1st degree – domestic violence, wanton endangerment – 1st degree, endangering the welfare of a minor, and failure to notify an address change to the department of transportation.
She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Bell District Court on September 15, 2026.
