(WSVN) - A Michigan woman was arrested after, police say, she stabbed a human resources employee with a pen as she resigned from her job.

According to WXYZ, 28-year-old Sakyra Ellis, an employee at Custom Home Health Care in Troy, was meeting with human resources to turn in her equipment.

A police report said Ellis was told she needed to pay $500 after turning in a broken computer tablet, per company policy. That’s when Ellis became enraged, put the victim in a choke hold and stabbed her in the left arm with a pen.

Ellis fled the scene in a black Nissan Altima before police arrived. However, she was located shortly after during a traffic stop on Interstate 75.

She has since been charged with assault and battery.
