LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3) -- The woman accused of slashing a co-worker’s face on the Strip made her first appearance today before a judge.

Brenda Stokes Wilson, 50, is accused of cutting a co-worker's face with a razor blade. Wilson worked as a blackjack dealer at the Bellagio.

After her arrest, it was revealed that she was the last person to see a missing a 10-year-old girl that led to this outburst in court this morning.

Jade Morris has been missing since 5 p.m. Friday. She was last seen Wilson. Wilson has not been charged with anything related to Jade’s disappearance.

In a police report, Wilson says she had been receiving harassing phone calls from a fellow dealer at the Bellagio. She says she thought they were friends but felt she had been backstabbed.

According to the report, Wilson confronted the woman at the dealer's table, got into an argument and slashed the woman's face with a razor blade. A casino patron held her down until security arrived.

Wilson, also in the report, had gone to a doctor earlier in the week, saying she felt like she might hurt somebody, and that she used Xanax in the past.

In court, Wilson says she is trying to get her private lawyer. The judge gave her until Friday to secure an attorney.

So sad to read this story. Praying for the girls safe return home. Too bad some people have brought their political agenda to the forum. Shame on you, Smitty and Till

So here we go again, this holiday season, since Thanksgiving, and another domestic dispute turned into an extremely violent attack amongst those who work at this city's casinos!!! (Yea, this one also finally has supposedly legal drugs attached to it) And that's why the real question is how do those whose 9 - 5 include such violence and other poor choices get to believe acting like a gangster is, ok?!?!? (Well, the answer is simply that this is what Oscar Goodman left behind, period!!!)
