River Roper, a Washington woman, has been arrested after allegedly stabbing her ex-boyfriend and then trying to place the blame on a homeless black man. According to the EMissourian, the incident occurred on October 18 when Roper and her ex-boyfriend had met up at a motel in Washington.
While the ex-boyfriend was showering, Roper's father arrived at the motel and an argument began to ensue. Roper's father left before things could get out of hand, but the argument between Roper and her ex-boyfriend continued. It was then that her ex-boyfriend was cut, though Roper claims it was a small table knife with a black handle that she had been holding to protect herself.
The police report stated that the laceration on the ex-boyfriend was about three to four inches in length. He then bled onto the bed and Roper grabbed towels to wrap his wound. She then drove him to a Walgreens to purchase gauze to wrap his arm. After returning to her ex-boyfriend's apartment he began to lose consciousness and Roper called 911. He was treated and released from Mercy Hospital the next day.
The police report revealed that the statements from Roper and her ex-boyfriend were not matching up. It was then that she provided the account of what had really happened. Her ex-boyfriend claimed he didn't want her to get into trouble with the law, which is why he didn't want to go to the hospital. Evidence of the crime was discovered by the police when they searched the motel room and found the bloody towels.
Roper is currently being held on a $50,000 cash-only bond. The Washington Police Department had received three separate calls in September involving the pair regarding domestic disputes.
