An emergency call for the stabbing of a woman led the police to the arrest of three people, including the assaulted.
On Monday, around 12: 30 in the morning, the St. George got a call about a woman being stabbed. When officers entered the apartment where the incident allegedly took place, they immediately smelled the smell of burning marijuana coming from inside the apartment.
The police obtained a search warrant and found numerous drugs, most in locked suitcases, including THC products, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl pills, oxycodone, amphetamine pills, adderall, alprazolam, psychedelic mushrooms, and ecstasy.
The investigation into the stabbing is ongoing and further charges could be filed against Jocelyn Mendoza, who told police she stabbed Makenna Grace Morlee” by accident.”
Doctors at a local hospital told police that Morlee, of 20 years old, “he had a puncture wound on his back that seemed to have pierced the lung” and that Mendoza, of the same age, was with her. However, neither of them wanted to answer the investigators’ questions.
“The victim he is in the hospital due to the severity of the injury,” police reported.
Morlee , a resident of LaVerkin, and Mendoza, of St. George, were charged in the 5th District Court with drug possession with intent to distribute, nine second-degree and five third-degree felonies.
The other detainee, William David West, of 22 years, was charged with possession of a firearm, a third degree felony, and drug possession.
