Ashley Hester
A Red Bank woman is facing an attempted first-degree murder charge.
Last Tuesday, Red Bank Police responded to a report of a stabbing on Hendricks Boulevard. When police arrived, they found a man standing outside of a residence who told police that he had been stabbed by his girlfriend, Ashley Necco Hester. The victim was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Detectives with the Red Bank Police Department then were dispatched to the scene to investigate the stabbing incident.
The resulting investigation indicated that there had been an argument between the victim and his girlfriend.
Ms. Hester admitted she had put a "butterfly" knife in the freezer. Police said the knife appeared to have blood on it. However, she did not admit the stabbing.
Police said the boyfriend was bleeding from the back and quite a bit of blood was coming out.
Ms. Hester was subsequently arrested and has been charged with attempted first-degree murder.
