ALPENA – On Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 27, 2024, troopers from the Michigan State
Police (MSP) Alpena Post were called to a report of an alleged stabbing that occurred at a residence on Blanchard Street in Alpena Township.
According to an MSP statement, a woman, identified as 32-year-old Autumn Marie Burton from Alpena, was assisting a man move. She became angry after seeing a text message between the man and another woman.
When the man attempted to comfort Burton by hugging her, she stabbed him in the
back.
The victim fled the scene and met with troopers at a residence on E Nicholson Hill Road. He was treated by EMS and then taken to MyMichigan Medical Center.
Burton had returned to her residence on Spruce Road. Troopers arrived at her residence and were eventually able to get her to come outside.
Bruce no longer had the knife and told troopers she threw it out the window of her vehicle as she drove home.
Burton was placed under arrest and lodged in the Alpena County Jail. She was arraigned last week in the 88th District Court in Alpena County for one count Assault with a
Dangerous Weapon, and one count Domestic Violence.
Burton was given a $2,500 10% cash surety bond. Her next scheduled court appearance is on March 12 at 12:30 p.m.
