GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State Police say a 58-year-old woman told a detective she stabbed her husband with a knife because he was calling her names.
The disclosure was included in a probable cause affidavit filed in the arrest of Valerie Atcher. The woman from Cave Junction in southern Oregon is charged with first-degree manslaughter.
The affidavit says 55-year-old Eric Atcher died from a stab wound to his left inner bicep. His body was found Wednesday night in the couple’s backyard.
