One man has been charged with assault after a female victim was found in a home with stab wounds late last month.
The Vance County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call of a possible assault on Dec. 31, 2021 on Spring Valley Road.
According to a press statement from Sheriff Curtis R. Brame, a deputy was met at the door of the home by a male subject, who resisted and assaulted the responding deputy and then barricaded himself in the residence. The deputy had seen a woman lying on the kitchen floor with apparent injuries.
The victim has not been named, but she was taken by Vance County EMS to Maria Parham Medical Center for treatment of “numerous injuries consistent with a violent assault,” Brame’s statement read. The victim remained hospitalized as of mid-January, Brame told WIZS News.
Arrested was Roy Williams, 2611 Spring Valley Road, and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and assault on a law enforcement officer. His secured bond was set at $500,000.
Brame said the investigation is continuing and urges anyone with information about the incident to contact the Vance County Sheriff’s Office or the local Crime Stoppers.
