The woman who was a household name back in 2006 for lying about the Duke Lacrosse team raping her is back behind bars today. Crystal Mangum was arrested for stabbing her boyfriend in the chest. Police charged Mangum with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill according to a statement by the Durham Police Department. When officers arrived on the scene Sunday, they found a 46-year-old man who had been stabbed.

By late Sunday, police had not released the name of the male victim, who was described as Mangum’s boyfriend. The stabbing apparently occurred during an argument between the couple, police reported. The victim was taken to Duke Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Officers found Mangum in a nearby apartment. She was arrested and taken to the Durham County jail. She’s being held in custody without bail.

The 32 year old North Carolina woman was convicted in December of misdemeanor charges including child abuse for a fire that nearly burned down her home. You may recall the Attorney General dropped all charges against the young men in 2007 and said the players were innocent.
