(CBS/AP) SANTA FE, N.M. - A woman accused her boyfriend of cheating during a game of Monopoly and then stabbed him repeatedly with a kitchen knife, Santa Fe police said.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports police arrested 60-year-old Laura Chavez Wednesday after finding a 48-year-old man with stab wounds and bleeding heavily from his head and right wrist.

According to a probable cause statement from police, Chavez and the victim began fighting because Chavez thought he was cheating.

Chavez was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, battery upon a peace officer and assault upon a peace officer.

Right about now, she's probably looking for that "get out of jail free" card.
