A Miloli'i woman has been charged with attempted arson and assault for allegedly stabbing her husband and threatening to blow up the couple's house, police said.

A 54-year-old man told police the woman stabbed him in the chest during an argument, and that when he then got into his vehicle to leave, she threw a large rock that shattered the passenger window.

The woman then allegedly carried several propane cylinders into the home and opened the valves, threatening to blow up the house, police were told.

Bernice Kaupu, 52, was charged with first-degree assault, terroristic threatening, criminal property damage, and attempted second-degree arson. Kaupu was being held at the Kona police station in lieu of $100,000 bail.

The man was taken to Kona Community Hospital, and was discharged yesterday morning.
