Okauchee woman accused of fatally stabbing boyfriend after argument over dinner

Waukesha County Sheriff\'s Department

WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- An Okauchee woman is charged with first degree intentional homicide after prosecutors say a dispute over dinner turned deadly Friday, April 24. 

According to the criminal complaint, 27-year-old Mikayla Kloth admitted to stabbing her boyfriend during an argument that started over chicken he brought to her apartment for dinner.

The complaint says when an officer at the scene asked who stabbed the victim, Kloth allegedly responded, "I did," telling police she was angry at him. 

During an interview with investigators, prosecutors say Kloth said she didn't want the victim to come over for dinner and wanted to go out. She reportedly said the victim came over with drumsticks and "began pushing her buttons." 

Kloth allegedly admitted to stabbing the victim, saying her anger got the best of her, according to the complaint, and "if they had to lock her up, that was cool."

During her transport to the police department, the complaint says Kloth told officers she "should have just gone to the bar" and that "the whole thing was just irritating."

Court records say an autopsy indicated the victim died of a stab wound to the chest. 

In court Monday, Kloth's cash bond was set at $2 million. A preliminary hearing is set for May 29.
