Alabama woman allegedly stabs husband to death a year after she stabbed him before

A Moulton woman has been charged with murder after authorities say she stabbed her husband to death, almost a year to the day after previously stabbing him.

Ashley Latrice Wright was arrested Monday in Mississippi in connection with the Nov. 30 death of Carl Dewayne Jones, 41.

Wright, 25, was taken into custody during a traffic stop in the 600 block of State Street in Clarksdale, Miss., according to Clarksdale police. She was then extradited back to Alabama.

Bond has not yet been set.

According to court documents, Jones was found dead of a chest wound.

According to the Moulton Advertiser, Moulton police, responding to a call at about 8:38 p.m., discovered Jones at the Relax Inn Hotel.

The death happened almost a year to the day after a similar incident was reported. On Dec. 1, 2022, a Wright was arrested at the Relax Inn for allegedly stabbing Jones in the chest with a steak knife. He reportedly suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
