PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Happy Valley woman has been charged with assault, accused of stabbing her son after she found he had eaten some of her popcorn.

Clackamas County sheriff's deputies say 49-year-old Lepa Leposava was intoxicated when she confronted her son about the popcorn at their home on Friday.

Deupties believe the woman got upset when she saw her son eating the popcorn she had just popped.

They say she knocked the popcorn onto the floor, then ordered her 21-year-old son, Marko Rajic Leposava, to clean it up. When her son refused, the woman went into the kitchen, got a knife and stabbed him.

The son suffered a puncture wound under his eye and numerous cuts to his hand that required 34 stitches

Deputies say Lepa Leposava was arrested back in 2001 for fourth-degree assault on her son. She's being held without bail.
