NFL journeyman Frank Kearse is recovering after suffering a knife wound, allegedly inflicted by his girlfriend at their Mansfield, Mass., apartment, according to the Sun Chronicle.
Kearse, who was released by the Patriots Aug. 23, was stabbed Wednesday in the upper abdomen during an argument about moving and other issues, per a police report filed Thursday in Attleboro District Court. His girlfriend, Dominique Hooper, told police she brandished a knife and that cut Kearse, who was defending himself with a cardboard box.
Hooper was charged with assault and battery. She pleaded not guilty and was released on $1,000 bail.
