A Fargo woman who stabbed her roommate in July will serve at least 2½ years in prison.
Catherine B. Askelson, 27, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault Thursday in East Central Judicial District Court in Fargo before Judge Cynthia Rothe-Seeger.
Rothe-Seeger sentenced Askelson to five years in prison, but suspended all but 30 months and ordered her placed on supervised probation.
Askelson was arrested July 30 after using a steak knife to stab her roommate, 21-year-old Cassidy W. Stevens, in the upper left chest at 725 8th St. N. in Fargo.
