| MORGANTOWN STABBING â Morgantown police have launched an investigation into an alleged stabbing at a homeless encampment in Morgantownâs Greenmont neighborhood.
The incident happened around 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday; police officers learned a woman had stabbed a man, and both individuals had left the area.
âThey located some blood near the entrance of the homeless encampment and some blood droplets near the porta potties at that location,â interim Police Chief Eric Powell said.
Officers contacted the victim around 5:30 p.m. on Spruce Street. Police questioned the victim, who fled officers after questioning.
âBefore fleeing, he provided a wallet with an ID to the officer that was questioning him,â Powell said. âThat wallet proved to be a stolen item taken from a vehicle here in town.â
Powell said the victimâs refusal to cooperate with authorities makes the investigation more challenging.
âRight now, itâs difficult to make a case when youâre not having a person who is an alleged victim providing you with any information or even confirming he is a victim,â Powell said.
Officers also found the suspect, but Powell said she denied any involvement in the incident and added she did not know the victim.
Police have made any arrests, but Powell said the victim will likely go to jail.
âThis individual has reasons not to cooperate; heâs actually got active warrants in a couple of locations,â he said.
There will be an increased police presence around Greenmont because of the incident.
