Authorities have arrested a woman in Florida who they say tried to attack another woman with a knife when she was denied a slice of pizza.

22-year-old De'Erica Cooks is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said Cooks became angry after another woman denied her a pizza slice when she asked for one. An offense report says Cooks told the woman "I'm going to cut you" with a steak knife in her hand, and then tried to attack her. Deputies say a man in the house was able to take the knife away from Cooks.

Cooks told investigators she did not remember much. She remained in jail Saturday on $1,500.  It was unclear if she had a lawyer.
