Woman Arrested in Myrtle Beach After Claiming Face Stabbing: Report
Arrest Followed Alleged Face Stabbing
In a shocking turn of events, a woman in Myrtle Beach was arrested following her claim of being stabbed in the face. According to reports received by the HERE News Network, Desiree Lynn Dalessandro, 38, flagged down a local police officer stating she had been assaulted.
Robbery Charges and Marijuana Possession
Dalessandro is facing charges of attempted armed robbery, shoplifting, and possession of marijuana. The incident reportedly took place on Mr. Joe White Avenue and North Ocean Boulevard where she managed to get the attention of an on-duty officer.
High-Value Property Allegedly Stolen
Dalessandro reported to the police that a group of individuals under Pier 14 had stolen property from her which she estimates to be worth $100,000. According to her, one member of the group snatched the knife she was carrying, stabbed her in the face with it, and discarded it into the ocean.
Counter-Allegation from the Alleged Assailant
However, the alleged assailant presented a contradicting account to the police. According to him, Dalessandro approached him aggressively, knife in hand, demanding the return of her belongings. Claiming self-defense, he alleges she lunged at his stomach with the knife and in the altercation that followed, her cheek was knicked.
Victim Denies Knowing About the Property
The man furthermore stated that he had no knowledge of Dalessandro’s missing property. Following her arrest, Dalessandro was found in possession of marijuana, and allegedly, a stolen bracelet. The bracelet reportedly comes from a Myrtle Beach store shoplifted earlier that day.
Ongoing Investigation
