Alyssa Kelly pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to injure, behaving threateningly, possessing an offensive weapon, and driving while disqualified when appearing in the Oamaru District Court. A heated argument via text culminated in an Oamaru woman slashing another during a struggle.

Kelly arrived at the property and "after a short verbal exchange, you produced a knife", Judge Roberts said.
