WOMAN ARRESTED IN STABBING

Sheriff's deputies arrested a Giles County woman Thursday and charged her with the murder of a Montgomery County man who was found stabbed to death three days earlier.

Robin Melody Carbaugh, 26, was arrested about 2:30 a.m. at a trailer in Blacksburg. Investigators would not say whose trailer it was and gave no details about her relationship with the man she is accused of killing.

Carbaugh was charged with murder and was being held in the Montgomery County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bond.

Michael Wayne Webb, 33, was found late Monday lying in the carport of a home on a rural section of Yellow Sulphur Springs Road after the occupants heard him crying for help. He had been stabbed on the left side of his chest and died before rescue crews arrived.

Sheriff's investigators initially were unable to identify Webb. They later learned he was from Ohio and had been living in different parts of Christiansburg and Montgomery County the past few years.

"I think the investigators did a good job on this case," said Chief Deputy Milton Graham. "It was an intensive three-day investigation."

Graham added that investigators worked through the night Wednesday to gather more clues. He said the investigation was continuing, but he did not say whether more arrests or charges were expected.
