| WOMAN LIES ABOUT STABBING HUSBAND -Dunbar police said a man told officers he was stabbed by his wife, who then instructed him to tell authorities he was cut while someone was trying to rob them.
Patricia Kay White, 46, of Sissonville is charged with malicious assault after an incident that occurred about 1 a.m. Wednesday on railroad tracks near the intersection of Wilson Street and Dunbar Avenue, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.

Police said White was standing outside of an ambulance, where her husband was being treated, and she appeared to have blood on her.
The woman told officers she and her husband were walking along the tracks when a person jumped out and stabbed her husband in the arm, the complaint said. Police said she was unable to give any type of description of the person or what immediately happened after the stabbing.
Police said Whiteâs husband, David Sims, told officers that following an argument, his wife pulled out a knife, said she was going to kill him and stabbed him in the right arm. He said White then told him to tell authorities he was injured when someone tried to rob them.
White is currently being held at South Central Regional Jail on a $5,000 or 10 percent cash bond.
