MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A Macon woman has been indicted in connection with a December stabbing at a personal care home, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.

Tierrica Rutherford was indicted March 17, 2026, on a charge of aggravated assault for allegedly stabbing a woman she cared for at a Calhoun Street residence, according to the Bibb County Superior Court Clerk.

The victim sustained cuts to her left hand, left leg and neck. Officials said the injuries were not deep, but visible blood was present.

Deputies attempted to make contact with Rutherford inside the home, but the doors were locked. A neighbor contacted the homeowner, who then instructed Rutherford to open the door.
