The husband called 911 and claimed Singh was “frustrated and purposely attacked him with the knife” because he had not cleaned the house. According to reports, Singh was listed online as a teacher assistant for grades K-3 at Endhaven Elementary School in the Ballantyne area.Court records showed Singh was initially denied bond by a magistrate, but then had it set at $10,000 during an October 13 court appearance.

She was also ordered not to go near or have any contact with the victim.
