A former home health care employee is facing charges after allegedly stabbing another employee with a pen when she was resigning from the company.
Police say 28-year-old Sakyra Ellis, of Redford, Michigan was resigning from her position at Custom Home Health Care. She met with a human resources employee to turn in her equipment.
According to a release, when the suspect turned in a broken computer tablet, the HR representative told her that she would have to pay $500 for it to be fixed, per company policy. That's when Ellis became enraged and attacked the victim, putting her in a choke hold and stabbing her in the left arm with a pen.
Ellis then fled the scene before officers arrived. Shortly after, other officers located the vehicle during a traffic stop.
Ellis is charged with assault and battery.
