Documents reveal that Tamala Rudeseal allegedly informed her boyfriend, “I did just try to murder you,” after the attack. These details were obtained by local CBS affiliate KTVK.

Rudeseal reportedly declared, “Today is my Independence Day,” following the incident.

Police responded to a 911 call from the 52-year-old woman shortly after 8 p.m. on Thursday. She had allegedly attacked her boyfriend with a large folding hunting knife, which officers found at the scene. The victim, who survived, informed police that Rudeseal is prone to depression during the holiday season and mentioned that the couple had a disagreement earlier that day. The pair have been in a relationship for approximately 11 years.

Authorities say they received a call from the 52-year-old just after 8 p.m. on Thursday after she attacked her boyfriend and sliced him open with a large folding hunting knife, which was recovered from the scene. The man spoke to police and said Rudeseal is known to become depressed around the holidays and that the couple had argued earlier in the day. They have reportedly been together for 11 years.

“God, I hope he is dead,” Rudeseal allegedly told cops while being interviewed about the attack, which occurred at an apartment complex on South Country Club Drive. “It’d be a favor to me, his wife, and his children.”

Police say that after slicing his throat open, Rudeseal claimed she wanted to keep stabbing her boyfriend, who was treated at a local hospital and is expected to recover following an emergency surgery. The man told cops that he was asleep when the alleged attack happened, and he managed to control the bleeding with a shirt until officers arrived, KTVK reports. A motive has not yet been released.

Rudeseal has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault. She was being held Monday on a $1 million bond.
