A Clark County woman is in jail accused of trying to stab her daughter and shaking her grandbaby.
Melissa Hampton, 50, is charged with wanton endangerment second and endangering the welfare of a minor.
Police say she tried to stab her daughter, Naisha Hampton, with two knives several times at her home on Lincoln Street Tuesday. Naisha says her mother was so drunk she called 911 on herself.

Hampton showed LEX 18 one of the knives she says her mother tried to stab her with. She says it all started Tuesday evening when Melissa was watching her grandchild and asked her daughter to take the kid back. When she told her mom to hold on while she put a bow on her other child, she says that’s when her mom snapped and became irate.
“She was slinging him by his arm trying to throw him at me, literally. I told her if she cut me she better kill me. I don’t know why she was trying to stab me,” Naisha said.
Melissa Hampton declined an interview from jail.
