Once inside the residence, police found Richard Conrad lying on the living room floor, with his face covered in blood and asking for help, police said in the affidavit.

He told police his wife stabbed him in the face, chest and neck while he was asleep in the recliner.

He also told police that he punched Palma Conrad in the eye to try and get her to stop stabbing him, the affidavit states.

Richard Conrad was flown by helicopter to York Hospital. According to hospital staff, he had surgery and was in stable condition.

Police saw a significant amount of blood on the recliner, floor and wall. They also discovered scissors, butcher knife and steak knife, which were all covered in blood, the affidavit states.

Palma Conrad told police on scene that she became angry with her husband because he wants to use medical marijuana, so she grabbed a knife and stabbed him.

She was then transported to Gettysburg Hospital, where she was evaluated and released into police custody once she was medically stable for discharge, the police said in the affidavit.

Once Palma Conrad was back at Littlestown Police Department, she told police she was "sick of it" with the medical marijuana, and she saw the knife and decided to kill her husband.

She also said that the idea of killing him has "rattled around" her mind and she was disappointed to know that Richard Conrad was still alive, police said in the affidavit.

Palma Conrad was charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted criminal homicide and aggravated assault, according to online court documents.

She is currently at Adams County prison in lieu of $100,000 bail and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Nov. 7, documents state.
