When the son looked into the back seat of a parked car, he found his father dead.

“The officers forced their way into the car to prevent the female from causing additional harm to herself,” Godsey said.
A detective found the knife used in the stabbing in Vivian Mims’ purse, which she was holding when police arrived, according to court documents.
Vivian Mims was booked Thursday evening into the Montgomery County Jail and is scheduled to appear Friday for her arraignment in Dayton Municipal Court.
