And to stab hookers?

MORRISTOWN — An illegal Guatemalan immigrant was sentenced today to 10 years in prison for stabbing a go-go dancer after she supposedly reneged on a deal to have sex with him for $300.

Jenrri Armando-Martinez, 22, of Morristown, was arrested Aug. 24 shortly before 1 a.m., when the injured, bloodied woman flagged down police on Garden Street, authorities have said.

Share He told police he met the woman at a go-go bar in Victory Gardens, and she agreed to go home with him and have sex for $300, but left his residence without returning the cash, authorities had said. He grabbed an 8-inch-long kitchen knife and chased after the woman in the driveway, held the knife behind his back and asked for the money back. When she refused to return the cash, he stabbed her in the abdomen, he admitted.

Defense attorney Neill Hamilton blamed the go-go dancer, saying she preyed upon Armando-Martinez because he was drunk, and she figured she could easily steal his cash. While that was no excuse for trying to kill the woman, Armando-Martinez did not deserve the maximum 10-year sentence, said Hamilton, who sought a six-year sentence.

“To put it very nicely, the victim was a thief. She targeted him because he was drunk and would make an easy mark,â€
