A Lawrence County grand jury convened this week to hear evidence in a variety of cases, including one in which a woman stabbed her boyfriend during a domestic dispute.

The incident happened on Nov. 1 at a home in Coal Grove.

According to Lawrence County Attorney Brigham Anderson, the grand jury believed the woman acted in self-defense.

The man who was stabbed, Charles L. Huffer, 38, died as a result of his injuries.

“He was on top of her choking her,” Anderson said. “She grabbed a steak knife.”

Anderson said the woman called 911.

“All evidence pointed it was actually self-defense,” Anderson said.

The following are indictments filed by the prosecutor’s office this week:

• Darnell Lisath, 40, of 2314 Marguerite St., Ashland, trafficking in marijuana and possession of marijuana;
