Five minutes before deputies were dispatched to Mayberry’s Mini Market, dispatchers received a 911 call from a woman asking for help at the same address where the stabbing happened, records show.
In the 911 call, the woman asks for help and the phone line stays silent for approximately two minutes before you hear what sounds like an argument in the background.
Deputies said Roberts followed the vehicle to the store and may have ran into her vehicle at the scene.
Roberts’ attorney said the suspect was on his way to turn himself in at the sheriff’s office when troopers arrested him.
