Man Scalped Girlfriend
Tampa, Florida - A man remained in jail Monday after Tampa police say he ripped off a large portion of his girlfriend's scalp with a 6-inch kitchen knife.
After the Friday attack, 40-year-old Tina D. Robinson was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, where surgeons attempted to reattach her scalp. Hospital officials would not comment on her condition Monday.
Police say Robinson and her 30-year-old boyfriend Jason Eric Tarvin had been drinking Thursday night and were intoxicated when an argument got violent.
After midnight, police say, Tarvin armed himself with a knife and attacked Robinson.
This is not the first domestic violence incident for either Tarvin or Robinson.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show that Tarvin was convicted for a 1999 domestic violence battery incident and charged with battery three times in the next two years. Robinson was convicted in 2002 for domestic violence battery and in 2006 for battery.
The couple had been living together at 4801 Lauber Way N in Tampa for four months before Friday's attack.
