WOMAN FROM CHRISTIANSBURG CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER

A Christiansburg woman was arrested early Monday and charged with trying to kill her husband and another woman by stabbing them with a kitchen knife.

Marneeta Cobbs, 28, was charged with two counts of attempted murder and was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $50,000 bond, said Lt. W.B. Tolley of the county sheriff's department.

Cobbs was arrested at a home in the Wake Forest section of the county shortly after midnight. Sheriff's deputies foud her there after receiving a call about a stabbing.

When deputies arrived, they found Cobbs' husband, Michael, who also lives in Christiansburg, and Tina Lindsey, 30, of Radford, at the Wake Forest home. Both had been stabbed a number of times.

Both were taken to Montgomery Regional Hospital.

Lindsey was treated for multiple but relatively minor stab wounds and released.

Cobbs was listed in guarded condition Monday morning and was being treated for stab wounds to the chest, a hospital nursing supervisor said.

Tolley called it a domestic incident.

"She [Cobbs] went to the residence in Wake Forest and when she went into that residence she found Michael Cobbs and Tina Lindsey together and she stabbed them," Tolley said.

Tolley said deputies found what he described as a kitchen knife.

Tolley said he did not know who owned the home in Wake Forest, which is near the Longshop-McCoy area.
