 York County Prison

A couple stabbed each other last week over an argument on who should win this season's "American Idol".

Karen Elaine Harrelson, 48, and Gregory Stambaugh, 57, were watching the season's finale performance show between Candice Glover and Kree Harrison on May 15. The pair, who was drunk, reportedly got into an argument on who should win the show, according to The York Dispatch.

One of them reportedly went into the kitchen and got a knife before stabbing their partner. The other then got the knife and stabbed the other, according to investigators.

However, it is not clear who stabbed first as they both insist that the other stabbed first.

Both Harrelson and Stambaugh are being held on assault charges at the York County Prison.
