Karissa Perras, 20, of West Quincy Street, pleaded not guilty Thursday to first degree aggravated domestic assault and misdemeanor domestic assault. She is not allowed to come within 100 feet of the Filmore Street man she is accused of assaulting or his residence.
According to an affidavit by Bennington Police Officer William A. DiNunzio, on Wednesday at about 2:20 p.m. police were dispatched to a residence on Filmore Street for a report of a man having been stabbed.
