RIVERDALE, Weber County — A man has been taken into custody after a woman was stabbed to death in Riverdale on Thursday.
About 2:30 p.m., the Weber County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call about a possible assault at Greenhill Apartments, 4189 S. 300 West.
When officers arrived, a witness told them a man had stabbed a woman inside the apartment. The apartment door was locked, “prompting officers to force entry,” and they found a woman who had sustained “multiple stab wounds,” police said in a news release late Thursday.
Emergency medical aid was administered, but the woman died from her injuries. Her identity has not been released, but she is 34 years old, Riverdale police said.
The suspect “had fled the apartment through a window,” police said. He was later apprehended by police on Riverdale Road, where police temporarily shut down traffic.
Scott Myers, 39, was arrested for investigation of murder, domestic violence assault, aggravated assault, avoiding apprehension, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person.
Police have not specified a possible motive or explained the relationship between the man and woman.
