An Ormond Beach woman was arrested in Flagler County after deputies say she broke into her ex-husband's home and tried to stab him in his sleep.

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office reports that 40-year-old Melinda Gould called 911 just after 2:40 a.m. on Friday, April 26, to request a wellness check on her ex-husband's home in Bunnell. She told the 911 operator that "she had just woken up from a nightmare in which she heard gunshots at his residence where her children were staying," according to a press release.

When a deputy arrived at the home, he saw that all the lights were off and that he observed no suspicious behavior. He called the woman back and reported this, to which she responded with profanity.
