Pleasantville mother, daughter arrested in stabbings


  • News

A Pleasantville mother and daughter are jailed after they allegedly slashed two women with a box cutter.

Police were called to South Hampden Court Wednesday afternoon for the report of a stabbing, Deputy Chief James Williams said.

Officers found two women, ages 25 and 31, had been wounded. One of the women had a deep laceration to the lower left side of her stomach. The other had lacerations to her left hand and back, according to the report.

Both women were treated at the scene and taken to the hospital, Williams said.

Ta'Ja Faulkner, 30, and her 52-year-old mother, Virginia Faulkner, were charged with aggravated assault, conspiracy and weapons offenses.

They are both being held in the Atlantic County Justice Facility. Neither was injured.An orange box cutter was found at the scene.


Note: The Atlantic County Justice Facility no longer provides mugshots to the media, citing the Atlantic County prosecutor’s order. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office says it’s part of the Attorney General’s Guidelines. There is no such guideline, according to the Attorney General’s Office, but they have told these offices for years that they should not release any photos that appear to be mugshots.
