21-year-old woman stabbed, man arrested
A Philadelphia man has been charged with domestic violence after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend at a house on Hays Street Friday evening, the authorities said.
The man, Brutarius Talley, 29, 250 Hays Street, has been arrested and charged with domestic violence-aggravated assault, Police Chief Eric Lyons said.
Officers responded at about 7 p.m. on Dec. 2 to the area of Hays Street where a female was being reported shot.
“Upon arrival officers noticed a black female on the ground outside of the residence unresponsive at the time,” Lyons said. “Officer’s administered CPR while awaiting the arrival of EMS.”
The victim would later be identified as the 21-year-old girlfriend of Talley.
Officers cleared the residence and detained all adults in and outside of the home. Lyons said the residence was a family home with about five adults and four children present at the time of the stabbing.
Inside the residence officers observed blood inside a bedroom on the bed and floor, Lyons said.
Talley was identified and detained at the time.
According to Lyons, Talley had blood and wounds on his hands consistent with a scuffle or assault.
The female victim was taken to Neshoba General and later airlifted with what doctors described as a stab wound not a gunshot, according to Lyons. He said the knife penetrated the victim’s heart and a lung but she is expected to make a full recovery and has been released from the hospital.
Talley was transported to the Winston County Jail where he is currently being held. Talley was charged on Monday after police conducted interviews and collected evidence.
Lyons said the investigation has not uncovered a motive for the stabbing but said that officers have made “frequent” trips to the residence — sometimes several times a month — answering different disturbance and complaint calls.
Lyons said his records show Talley has been charged previously in Winston County and Neshoba counties on assault charges. Lyons said he is currently trying to find out details of those previous cases.
Jail records published in the Democrat from May 2007 have a 14-year-old Brutariius Talley being arrested on assault charges, though it is not clear at press time if he was ever convicted in connection on that charge.
