Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that 24-year-old Laquinn Smith was arraigned on charges related to her allegedly stabbing her ex-boyfriend.
It is alleged that Smith and her ex-boyfriend were residing together in Clinton Township, MI. On Thursday, December 11, 2025, they had a verbal dispute. Smith allegedly stabbed the victim twice.
It is alleged that Smith fled the scene in the victim’s car and was involved in a major accident involving several vehicles in the area of Hall Road and Romeo Plank in Sterling Heights. The accident remains under investigation.
On Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025, an interim arraignment was held for Smith before Magistrate Jean M. Cloud in the Macomb County Jail. Smith is facing the following charges:
- Assault with Intent to Murder, a life or any term of years felony, and
- Aggravated Domestic Violence, a 1-year misdemeanor.
Magistrate Cloud set Smith’s bond at $250,000 cash/surety only, no 10%. Smith will be arraigned before a District Court Judge at a future unconfirmed date.

Our office will pursue these cases aggressively to protect victims and to make clear that violence has no place in our homes or our community,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
