EAGLE-VAIL, Colorado ” A woman stabbed her husband in the shoulder twice after the couple argued about driving drunk home from an Avon bar, according to an Eagle County Sheriff’s Office report.

Margaret Pegg Barry, 47, of Eagle-Vail, stabbed her husband in the kitchen of the couple’s Eagle-Vail home on St. Patrick’s Day, the report says. The husband’s name is being withheld.

Barry and her husband had been drinking Monday evening at Finnegan’s Wake, and her husband told her not to drive them home while they were in the parking lot outside the bar, the report says. He ended up letting her drive him anyway, the report says.
