The stabbings happened Sept. 16 inside the family home at Leeward Air Ranch.
The 30-year-old woman told sheriff's deputies that she stabbed the victims with a 9-inch knife because she was told to leave the home, according to an arrest affidavit.
After stabbing the two people, she said, she did laundry, met a friend, and went grocery shopping. Adams was taken into custody when she returned to the residence.
Adams was interviewed by detectives and then transported to the Marion County Jail, where she is being held without bail. Her next court appearance is scheduled for October.
