Woman didn’t like bedsheets, tried to kill person who made the bed, FL cops say

An argument over bedding preferences turned potentially deadly when a woman grabbed a knife and attacked the person responsible for setting up her bed, according to investigators.

It happened at about 5:15 p.m. Sunday, July 27, in a home in Fort Meade, and the victim suffered a wound to her back, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said in a July 28 news release. The victim’s identity was not released.

“The victim told deputies and detectives that 26-year old Anaya Durandisse Williams had gotten extremely upset about about the type of bed sheets and blankets that the victim set up in Anaya’s room,” the sheriff’s office said.

“Anaya escalated the argument further by grabbing the victim by her hair and hit her on the head with an empty glass bottle, causing the bottle to shatter. ... Anaya also kicked and bit her.”

The victim’s attempt to call 911 further enraged Williams, who then armed herself with a knife and struck the victim in the back, causing a “minor laceration”, officials said.

Deputies arrested Williams, who blamed the victim’s demeanor for the attack. “She did it because the victim is ‘overly-emotional and pushes people over the edge,’” the sheriff’s office said.

Investigators did not report how the suspect and victim knew each other.

Williams has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, officials said.

Fort Meade is about a 60-mile drive southeast from Tampa.
