Suspect Stabs Victim with Crack Pipe

Released- Thursday, June 26, 2008

Wilmington- On June 25th, at approximately 2:50 p.m., Troopers responded to the area of Steve’s Tavern, on Centerville Road, in reference to an assault complaint. Officers arrived on the scene and contacted a 23-year-old male victim.

This investigation revealed the victim was driving through the city of Wilmington when he stopped at a red light. He advised the suspect in this case, later identified as Bobbi Ramey, 36, of Haley Court in Wilmington, approached his car and asked for a ride to the Walmart on Centerville Road. The victim, who did not know Ramey, agreed to provide the transportation and the two proceeded to this destination.

The victim advised that as he approached the Walmart the suspect produced a crack pipe and began to stab him multiple times in the arm. The victim pulled off of the road just south of Steve’s Tavern where he attempted to fend off the suspect. A witness heard the commotion coming from the victim’s car and responded to assist. As this witness opened the door, Ms. Ramey got out and fled toward Steve’s Tavern.

A search of the area by Troopers led to the apprehension of Ramey behind ‘Steve’s.’ She was holding a soda can upon her arrest; and inside the can officers located the crack pipe used during the assault. The victim was transported to Christiana Hospital where he received twelve stitches.

Bobbi Ramey was cited with Assault 2nd (felony), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (misdemeanor) and Carrying a Concealed Deadly Instrument. She was arraigned and committed to the Baylor Woman’s Correctional Institute in lieu of $12,000.00 secured bail.
