	ROCK SPRINGS, WY -- A woman stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife
following an argument that began when she accused him of opening a Christmas
present early, authorities said Friday. 
	
	
	Misty Johnson, 34, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault
and battery, a felony, and misdemeanor domestic battery. Her husband, Shawn
Fay Johnson, 34, was treated at a hospital for a wound to the chest, police
said. 
	
	
	Misty Johnson made an initial court appearance Thursday in which she
requested a court-appointed attorney, authorities said. She was released
after posting bail, which was set at $7,500. 
	
	
	There was no telephone listing for her in Rock Springs. 
	
	
	Authorities said Shawn Johnson called 911 just before 1 a.m.
Wednesday to report that his wife had stabbed him. He told police that his
wife started arguing with him over his opening a Christmas present,
according to court records. 
	
	
	As the argument escalated, Misty Johnson accused her husband of
having an affair, authorities said. Police found a marriage license in the
couple's apartment stating they were married in late September. 
	
	
	Police Detective David Thompson said he didn't know what the present
was, or if it was intended for the husband.
