A Mahanoy City woman who told police she stabbed her mother's boyfriend to death after the couple engaged in a dispute is free on bail.

Schuylkill County Judge John E. Domalakes on July 25 granted the bail reduction request of Kimberly Hons, 34.She had initially been denied bail when she was charged on April 16.Domalakes set bail at $30,000 cash percentage, meaning she would have to post $3,000 to get out of jail.But Domalakes set some strict rules for Hons. She must live at 739 E. Mahanoy Ave., and not move from there without the court's permission.She must also not have or use alcohol or illegal drugs, and stay away from places that serve alcohol.Hons must also resume or get a job by Aug. 25.Hons was charged with voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person in the death of 52-year-old Lawrence Quinn, who died of a single stab wound on Dec. 1.Quinn had been engaged in a dispute with Hons' mother, and an argument had ensued after the dispute.According to court testimony and arrest documents, Hons stabbed Quinn at 4:35 a.m. in the house where she lived with him and her mother, Linda Smith.It remains unclear why Hons, who did not flee, was not arrested until five months after the stabbing.
