CLENDENIN, W.Va. (WKRC) – A woman was charged after she allegedly broke into a chicken coop before reportedly being stabbed a resident.
According to a statement issued by the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office, Anna Groves of Clendenin, West Virginia is being sought after she allegedly forced her way into a chicken coop where two people were living and was stabbed during the encounter.
Deputies with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office responded March 31 to a disturbance on Big Sandy Road, where they found a man and his daughter, who told officers they were residing in a chicken coop.
The man said he heard a woman, identified as Anna Groves, shout a threat as he walked back toward the structure.
The man’s daughter told deputies she had been asleep inside the coop when Anna Groves and a man, Jason Groves, attempted to force entry. According to authorities, Anna Groves entered the coop and confronted the resident’s daughter, who then reportedly pulled out a knife and stabbed her. Both Anna and Jason Groves fled before law enforcement arrived, per the statement.
Later, the sheriff’s office was notified by the Charleston Police Department that a stabbing victim had arrived at CAMC General Hospital.
Corporal J.S. Ashcraft met with Anna Groves, who reportedly admitted she had gone to the coop to confront Thompson over money she believed had been stolen. She told investigators she intended to assault Thompson but denied making a death threat. She said she was stabbed shortly after entering.
“In a recorded statement, Ms. Groves admitted that she did not threaten to kill Ashley but intended to “beat her EXPLETIVE DELETED” over money she alleged Ashley had stolen,” authorities wrote.
