A 21-year-old Farmville woman is sitting in the Pitt County jail without bond after warrants accuse her of stabbing another woman with a kitchen knife. Kennasia Condery was arrested Tuesday and charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, though the stabbing itself happened two weeks earlier, on September 22.
Two-Week Gap Between Stabbing and Arrest
According to WITN, Greenville Police charged Condery on Tuesday after warrants detailed the alleged attack. Court records cited by the station say Condery stabbed the victim with a kitchen knife in Pitt County on September 22, but as SOUL Catching News reports, officers did not actually take her into custody until two weeks later, following an ongoing investigation. The gap between the alleged assault and the arrest has not been explained publicly, and the relationship between Condery and the victim, along with the victim's current condition and any motive, remain unaddressed in available records.
Public booking logs reviewed via a YouTube Shorts clip show Condery was previously listed in Pitt County detention records on August 10, roughly six weeks before the stabbing, though it's unclear what that earlier booking involved.
Why There's No Bond on the Table
A 2023 change to North Carolina's pretrial rules affected magistrates' role in setting bail in violent-felony cases.
Condery was expected to appear in court for the first time later Tuesday.
Part of a Local Pattern
Condery's arrest adds to a run of weapon-related assault cases Hoodline has tracked in Pitt County this year, including a case where a 46-year-old woman was jailed without bond after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend in the back, a 31-year-old Greenville man held without bond for allegedly attacking a woman with a box cutter, a 39-year-old Greenville man accused of stabbing his girlfriend's neck with a drill, and a 22-year-old Greenville man charged after allegedly threatening his girlfriend with a kitchen knife.
