Deputies responded about 1:50 a.m. to her residence, and when they arrived, they observed her live-in boyfriend, Amelio Peluso, 46, walking outside. He reportedly had a scratch on his face, and he told deputies that his girlfriend had assaulted him with a knife.
Deputies spoke with Ms. Frost, and observed that she displayed signs of intoxication. She said she had acted in self-defense against Mr. Peluso. Two knives were recovered from the scene, and she was transported to the jail.
