The other side:
Gill told investigators it was "a lot of years of things building up," including circumstances when the man would follow Gill as she tried to get away from him, deputies said in an arrest affidavit. She claimed she attempted to resolve their issues many times over the years and said, "Maybe I just acted on things."
Gill told deputies the man did "stuff to her" as well as to her mom, describing him as physically abusive, the affidavit said. She wasn't able to describe any of these alleged acts, deputies said.
She claimed she was defending herself and her mom, deputies said. She also said she believed he was on his phone "doing things to hurt other people," the affidavit said.
Gill's statements were contradictory with information provided from other witnesses, deputies said. When investigators questioned her about the contradictory statements provided, she said she didn't want to talk anymore, the affidavit said.
According to the sheriff's office, Gill admitted to stabbing the man and told investigators during an interview that she "wished the knives had been sharper."
What's next:
Gill faces a charge of attempted murder. She was arrested and booked into the Marion County Jail.
