WINONA, Minn. — Police rushed a Winona man to the hospital with a screwdriver tip lodged in one arm from a fight with a girlfriend. Although painful, the wound was not lethal. The incident was about 4:40 p.m. in the 400 residential block of Hamilton Street. Police responded to a 911 call from a man who said he had been stabbed. Police found him outside with bleeding from his upper-right firearm. He said his girlfriend had done it it and barricaded herself inside. Officers made phone contact. She agreed to come out. Officers quoted her as saying she had no idea why they were there or why they wanted to talk with her. She eventually opened up, officers said, and admitted to a screaming matching match over fidelity. It turned physical, she told officers, and the boyfriend grabbed a small cosmetic mirror from her. Attempting to retrieve the mirror, she said she accidentally hit him with a screwdriver in her other hand. Arrested was Samantha Leann Ewing, age 45.
