JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — This story has been updated as of 3:04 p.m.

A woman is facing charges after allegedly cutting her boyfriend's throat during an argument.

Pamela Ross, 56, is accused of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in relation to an incident Tuesday morning. Her apparent boyfriend is in the hospital.

Ross was "absentee booked," during her first appearance, meaning she was not present. She was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in a domestic case, with her bond set at $25,003.

According to the police report, that man's throat had been cut. His injuries were said to be life-threatening, but he is stable.

Earlier this morning, police said they were answering a call about a reported stabbing on Barnett Street in northwest Jacksonville, they got another call reporting another stabbing. This led them about a block away to the corner of State and Rushing Streets, where they found Ross with minor injuries, a cut on her neck.

The police report states Ross told police she and the man whose throat she allegedly cut were in a relationship for five years.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office reported a double stabbing Tuesday morning at a boarding house at the 1400 block of State Street West.

At 3:40 a.m. Tuesday, officers responded to a report of a person stabbed, Sgt. Highfield with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said.

While the officers were on scene, they were called to a report of another stabbing victim at nearby Barnett Street.

Both victims had stab wounds to their necks, Highfield said, but the injuries were non-life-threatening.

Officers believe the two victims know each other and that the incidents related, but the nature of the relationship is unknown.
