DETROIT — A Detroit woman faces felony charges in connection with the non-fatal stabbing of her husband, Wayne County prosecutors said Wednesday. Reanetta Moore, 44, was arraigned Wednesday morning on charges of assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm, felonious assault and aggravated assault, prosecutors said. Moore's bail was set at $1 million, prosecutors said. On Sunday, Moore and her husband, 35-year-old Robert Joiner, were arguing in their home in the 9150 block of Montrose in Detroit when Moore grabbed a sword and "seriously cut (Joiner) several times," according to prosecutors. Detroit police responded to the home and found Joiner lying on the living room floor bleeding and with wounds to his left side and the back of his neck, prosecutors said. A sword was in the dining room with blood on it and was taken by police, prosecutors said. Joiner was taken to a local hospital and is continuing to receive treatment, prosecutors said. Moore was arrested at the scene. Moore is scheduled to appear in court again on Feb. 3 for a probable cause conference.
