Batina Jackson of Roseville was ordered held on $250,000 bond at her arraignment Tuesday. She faces a Feb. 1 preliminary examination.
Roseville Police Chief James Berlin says the 39-year-old victim was stabbed nine times in his back and neck Sunday evening. They say he’s hospitalized in serious condition and expected to recover.
