INDIAN HEAD PARK, IL -- An Indian Head Park stay-at-home mom is accused of stabbing her husband in the back with a steak knife, prosecutors said. Elizabeth Cooper, 44, appeared before Cook County Judge Peter Felice on a felony charge of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm. The husband was treated for a non-life threatening stab wound.

Indian Head Park police and other assisting agencies responded to a call of a domestic disturbance in the 100 block of Cascade Drive around 6:30 p.m. Sept. 3. According to the charges, Cooper had just returned home from swimming with the couple's young sons, when she and her husband began arguing. The prosecutor said that Cooper punched her husband in the groin, as well as hitting him in the head and chest.

Cooper's husband grabbed his wife's arms in an attempt to restrain her, but she broke free. The prosecutor said the couple's son reportedly recorded part of the altercation on a cell phone. The husband gathered the children to get them out of the house when he saw Cooper allegedly heading toward a butcher block in the kitchen where there were several knives. As he was going out the door of the couple's town home, the prosecutor said he felt a knife and blood running down his back. Cooper allegedly phoned a friend and said she didn't mean to hurt her husband.
