SAVANNAH — A Garden City woman is in jail after authorities say she allegedly threw a knife during a fight over the wrong brand of beer, striking and seriously injuring a 3-year-old girl.

It's unclear what charges Lorraine Bulloch faces. Garden City Capt. Al Jelinski says she was drunk when she got into an argument with her brother at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday after he came home with the wrong brand of beer.

Police say Bulloch allegedly picked up a knife and threw it at her brother, but he ducked and the blade ended up striking the 3-year-old in the head.

Paramedics rushed the little girl to Memorial University Medical Center with what Jelinski describes as serious injuries.

Bulloch was booked into the Chatham County jail.
