Warrants reveal new details about woman accused of stabbing pregnant shopper at Charlotte grocery store

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Arrest warrants are revealing new details about the stabbing of a pregnant woman at a Charlotte grocery store. A Mecklenburg County judge denied bond for Marvina Butler-Hardy on Wednesday. Court documents say Butler-Hardy sat in a car in the parking lot of the Harris Teeter in Cotswold for three hours on March 18th, before attacking the woman as she took her three-year-old son out of her vehicle.

Investigators say Butler-Hardy attempted to stab the victim five times, eventually striking her in the chest. The encounter lasted 15 seconds, before Butler-Hardy took off.

A family member identified her after police released surveillance images. A trooper pulled her over two weeks later in Florida and learned she had a warrant out for her arrest. She was extradited to Mecklenburg County on Tuesday. A judge also gave Butler-Hardy a court-appointed attorney.
