TOOELE — A Tooele woman has been accused of stabbing a man during a fight that allegedly started over a $50 dispute.
Stephanie Nicole Gilmore, 33, and Tyrell James Brady, 39, of Tooele, were each arrested earlier this week.
On Tuesday, Gilmore was charged in 3rd District Court with attempted murder, a first-degree felony, or in the alternative aggravated assault with serious injury, a second-degree felony; and possession of a weapon by a restricted person, a third-degree felony. Brady was charged with obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony.
A third person, Kimberly Ann Crinan, 30, of Stansbury Park, was charged Monday with obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony.
The investigation began when a man was dropped off at Mountain West Medical Center with stab wounds early Sunday.
"It was reported that a male victim was stabbed with a knife in shoulder, neck and multiple times in the right limbs," according to a police booking affidavit. The man was later transported to the University of Utah Hospital for further treatment.
Crinan was identified as the woman who dropped off the victim. She first claimed she picked up the victim at a bar in Tooele, the affidavit says. However, when detectives went to the bar, "no blood was found at the scene where Crinan claimed to have picked up the victim."
Using surveillance cameras and data from a tracking device placed on Crinan's car from a prior investigation, police said they determined that she arrived at the victim's home late Saturday night and then went back to her own residence.
"The tracking history shows Crinan's vehicle left her residence approximately one hour later and went down Main Street directly to Mountain West Medical Center at a high rate of speed and arrived at 12:02 a.m.," according to the affidavit, which says police the stabbing occurred at her home.
After police located Crinan and took her into custody, she admitted she "wasn't telling the truth and said the victim told her to tell law enforcement the statement she provided," according to the arrest report. She then said there had been a confrontation between the victim and two others in front of her house.
"Video footage was obtained from surrounding neighbors near Crinan's residence. The video footage shows a fight occur in front of Crinan's residence. A female can be heard yelling, 'Get him baby, hit him,'" the affidavit states. "The fight stops and you can hear a male say, 'Let's go, man.' The vehicle drives off shortly and a male (is seen) walking up the driveway toward Crinan's residence. Investigators responded to Cirinan's residence and found blood in the road, onto the sidewalk and leading to Crinan's driveway."
Detectives learned that Brady owed the victim $50 and the victim confronted Brady and Gilmore who were parked in front of the residence, the affidavit states.
"Both Gillmore and Brady said the victim came out and punched Brady in the face who was sitting in the driver seat of his vehicle. Brady said he got out of his car and began trying to fight with the victim. Brady said the victim got him in a headlock and eventually let go. Gilmore said the same thing and told me she tried pulling the victim off Brady. Both Brady and Gilmore denied stabbing the victim during the fight," according to the affidavit.
However, when detectives searched Brady's vehicle, "blood stains were observed on his driver's door handle and on the inside of the driver's door."
According to charging documents filed on Tuesday for Brady, he was fighting with the victim when the man "was stabbed by another party."
When he was initially questioned, he lied to police, the charges state.
"The next day, (Brady) wanted to speak to law enforcement and told them that the stabber stabbed the victim and told law enforcement where to find the knife. After coming clean, (Brady's) version of events lined up with the other evidence that has been found throughout the investigation, including video evidence," according to charging documents.
