Police say a Jackson County woman threatened to castrate a man for visiting strip clubs.

Maria E. Casarez, 39, of Brockway told authorities she only was trying to scare the man during the Jan. 14 incident.

The couple was becoming intimate when Casarez produced a pocketknife and held it to the man’s genitals, according to the criminal complaint. He knocked the knife away and pushed her to the bed.

Casarez told authorities the couple had relationship problems and she was upset by his visits to strip clubs. She said she didn’t feel he was properly addressing her concerns, so she wanted to scare him, according to the complaint.

A breath test shortly after the incident measured Casarez’s blood-alcohol level at 0.125 percent.

She is charged in Jackson County Circuit Court with disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon in a domestic abuse situation.

Casarez was released on a $300 cash bond.
