Milquia Eller Da Silva Has Been Arrested For Stabbing Boyfriend
BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) — A 40-year-old Boca Raton woman has been arrested after stabbing her 24-year-old boyfriend.
Contrary to more hyperbole being shared by a Boca Raton-based news website/personal blog, there was no double stabbing in West Boca Raton last night. There was, however, an incident where a woman stabbed her boyfriend and was arrested for it.
PBSO and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue were dispatched to the Watergate Mobile Home Estates in unincorporated Boca Raton shortly after 8 PM for a stabbing call.
Upon arrival, first responders found a 24-year-old man had been stabbed, or sliced, across his back. Deputies quickly learned that the man's 40-year-old girlfriend, Milquia Eller Da Silva, was responsible for the assault. Milquia and her boyfriend were both transported to West Boca Medical Center for their injuries.
According to the arrest report, Milquia got into an argument with her boyfriend after she suspected he was cheating on her and sending another girlfriend money. When Milquia asked to see the boyfriend's phone, he refused. Deputies say that Milquia then tried to stab him, saying "I'm going to kill you."
While the boyfriend was able to deflect the stabs he sustained superficial injuries. Both were transported to the hospital where Milquia was then arrested.
Milquia Eller Da Silva, 40, of the 11800 block of Atlantic Circle in Boca Raton, has been arrested by the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office. While the official arrest report is still being processed, Boca Post has been notified that the charge filed is aggravated battery using a deadly weapon.
