One woman is in custody after police say she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend in the back with a knife Tuesday evening.
Michelle Ross was arrested on charges of attempted murder and domestic battery with a deadly weapon after an incident at a residence located at 1444 Star Road, apartment No. 2.
According to a short declaration of arrest in the case, a Nye County Sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to the residence around 9:55 p.m. that evening. As he was approaching the address, the deputy reportedly saw the victim walking away from the area.
When he made contact with the male, he said he saw the man had a puncture wound in the lower right side of his back.
Once additional deputies arrived at the scene to assist, the initial responding officer was able to make his way to the residence to meet with Ross.
After asking Ross if she was alright, Ross allegedly told the deputy, at some point during their conversation, that she had grabbed a knife and stabbed the victim earlier that evening.
It was also reportedly discovered during the course of the officer’s investigation that Ross and the victim have been dating for more than a year and have a child together.
Ross was placed under arrest at approximately 11:01 p.m. and transported to the Nye County Detention Center to be booked on charges stemming from what allegedly occurred earlier in the evening.
She had her first court appearance on the charges less than 24 hours later on Wednesday afternoon in Pahrump Justice Court.
Justice of the Peace Tina Brisebill found, based on what was included in the declaration of arrest, that police had in fact had probable cause to arrest Ross the previous evening.
She noted, however, it may be difficult for prosecutors to file a charge of attempted murder against Ross with the limited information included in the declaration of arrest.
A formal arraignment date was set in the case for Sept. 26 and Ross’s bail was ordered to remain set at $15,000 cash or bond.
Ross had not posted bail as of Thursday morning and remained in the custody of the sheriff’s office in the Pahrump jail.

What we have here is a psycho who stabs human beings with knives. Oh, did I mention she has a small, helpless baby ?
And if she makes bail is she going to be prevented from having contact with the baby, I hope.
This is a very sad case: Michelle Ross most likely is over worked; over-tired taking care of a small child, & then her boyfriend could have been giving her a bad time. A woman with a child does not do such a horrible thing without some kind of motivation. What did the boyfriend do or say to her for this kind of horrific act? Nothing comes form nothing. Now, unfortunately, the child will be put in foster care because the parents are too immature or too drugged up to think about their acts have severe consequences for their child. Sad story.
@Chaos4tu….
are you for real????
she stabbed him in the back!!!!
in the back! how is that anyones but her faultsitt ?
unless she was being beat at the time she has no excuse for her actions…. and you are going to sit here and try and defend a BACK STABBER???
jeez… get a clue will ya.
remind me to never turn my back on you please.
You don’t know any more about this story than what you just read. Why do you automaticslly assume it to be the man’s fault?
She doesn’t work
She has three children
All different fathers
The children need to be removed from her permanently before anything worse happens.
@chaos
You were kidding, right ?
You don’t really believe that being over-worked, over-tired, or being bad-mouthed justifies stabbing someone, do ya ?
There is no justification for battery & attempted murder. I’m merely saying that there may be more to the story than what the PVT wrote. If I were a short skinny young girl & my boyfriend was a big, strong muscle type guy, & he was beating me up regularily, I would not confront him face to face, I’d wait till he was a sleep one night & then even things up.
@Chaos4tu Lady you must have bumped your head.e putting something in some girls head that will send her to jail for life.
if you did that then it would be pre-meditated murder and you would go to prision.
if you had enough sense you would know that you would need to call the police and let him go to jail.
you should be ashamed of yourself for saying such things and maybe putting something in some girls head that will get her sent to prision.
Every mother is over-tired, over-stressed and over-worked. And a lot of them are probably under-appreciated, too. Very few of them stab their b/friends’ or husbands’. No matter if she was pooped, abused or given a bad time, she’s supposed to either leave or call 911. And the same goes for men too. In order to be a civilized society, we can’t just lash out at others in the heat of the moment because of how we feel, although I’m sure most of us have wished we could’ve at some point in time. I agree though, this is a sad case with regards to her children, but sometimes it’s for the best.
Who cares if she has 3 baby daddys. What does that have to do w the price of tea in China? And obviously you dont have kids, if you say she doesnt work. She is.a full time mother! And another thing, Michelle is about 90 dam pounds, and that idiot, beat her a** on several occasions, including during her pregnancy. Check her fb statuses for the last year! I would have stabbed him in the back too! Theres only so much someone can take and if he was hurting.her, I would have waited.for him to turn around too. She is not a.violent person, no violent history at all! Hes lucky she.only stabbed him in the back,!
