Woman charged with stabbing ex-boyfriend
PRINCETON – A Mercer County woman has been charged malicious assault after allegedly stabbing her ex-boyfriend with what he called "a Rambo knife." Badia A. Miller, 51, of Bluefield was charged with a felony charge of malicious assault and misdemeanor domestic battery after Patrolman D.W. Lester with the Bluefield Police Department was dispatched to a College Avenue apartment June 3 about a reported stabbing. Lester found the victim standing his living room with a large knife wound below the center of his chest, according to the criminal complaint filed at the Mercer County Magistrate Clerk's Office. He told Lester that his ex-girlfriend, Badia Miller, had stabbed him and fled the scene in a Chevy Cruze sedan. The victim was transported to the emergency room on Princeton Community Hospital's Bluefield location. There he told Lester that he had been arguing with Miller about him sharing texts with other women and because she had taken his house key and refused to give it back, according to the criminal complaint. He asked her to leave several times because he was afraid his landlord would complain about her causing a disturbance and evict him. "She refused to leave and pulled out a knife that he described as 'a Rambo knife' stabbing him right below the center of his chest, near his sternum leaving leaving a laceration of about two centimeters deep, and four centimeters in length," Lester said in his report. "There was also a cut below the initial stab wound from where the knife was pulled out in (a) downward slashing motion." On June 4, Lester was patrolling College Avenue when he saw a black Chevy Cruze with a West Virginia license plate number matching one observed on city cameras when the stabbing occurred, according to the criminal complaint. Lester conducted a traffic stop and the driver identified herself as Badia Miller. She consented to a search inside her vehicle. "When doing so, I observed a pair of flip flops hidden under bags in the trunck with what appeared to be blood on both sides of them," Lester said in his report. A knife matching the one described by the victim was also found, Lester said. After being transported to the police department, Miller was read her Miranda Rights and agreed to be interviewed without a lawyer present, Lester said in the report. She called the victim an ex-boyfriend and someone she stayed with frequently. Lester then said they had been drinking and he began to touch her, "which made her upset." Miller stated that she bit the victim on the nose, which did not draw blood, and left shortly after, according to the criminal complaint. She stated that she left to get more alcohol for herself, but saw EMS and police at the scene when she returned to the house. She then said that she went her ex-boyfriend's apartment door and knocked, but there was no answer and did not further check on him. Lester said Miller was seen several times on video surveillance driving through the city, "which contradicted several of her statements." On June 4, Miller asked to speak again with detectives before she was arraigned by a magistrate, Lester said in the report. She said that she was drinking with her ex-boyfriend when they argued. "At this time she stated she pulled her knife and used it for protection but did not remember pulling it out of the sheath," Lester said. "She stated she didn't know she cut him until we advised there was something on the knife. After further evaluating the sheath, it is cut and the knife come out the end of it, so it could've been in the sheath when she stabbed him in the chest." Miller was arraigned before Magistrate Susan Honaker and remanded to the Southern Regional Jail on a $10,000 cash or surety bond, according to court records. Malicious assault is a felony with a possible term of two to 10 years in prison, according to the West Virginia Code. Domestic battery is a misdemeanor with a possible term of up to 12 months in jail.
