Hammond - Tangipahoa Sheriff's deputies arrested 21 year old Victoria Gant of Amite and booked her with attempted first degree murder.

Shortly after midnight on Thursday, deputies say they were dispatched to North Oaks Medical Center in reference to a stabbing.  According to investigators, the female victim said Gant stabbed her twice in the shoulder.

Here's what deputies say happened:  Gant arrived at the victim's boyfriend's apartment and wanted to fight.  The victim told Gant she was six months pregnant and didn't want any trouble.  Gant pulled out a knife, hit the victim in the head and stabbed her twice. However, a spokesperson with the sheriff's office says the victim was not pregnant at the time of the stabbing.

Tangipahoa Sheriff's deputies arrested Gant without incident.

I am Victoria's Sister In Law and the media/news got the wrong information. Victoria lives in the home with my brother and the so call victim has been picking with her for some time now. The so call victim "Crystal" came into the home without Victoria knowing and Victoria was sleep downstairs with my nephew when this girl entered into the home and Victoria is the one pregnant not the so call victim. Victoria is 5 months pregnant and the newspaper got it mixed up. This is the truth because he is my brother which is Victoria live in boyfriend. So stop telling lies on her because as if you read the other comment what my mom said It Is All Lies. By the way she does not live in Amite, she lives in Hammond with my brother.
