Robin Todd (W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center).

A South Carolina woman finds herself in custody after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend and making incriminating remarks about the incident, as reported by authorities in the Palmetto State.

Robin Todd, aged 53, faces charges of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, as stated by the Hartsville Police Department.

The dramatic episode unfolded in the early hours of New Year’s Day at a residence on Logan Avenue in the town of Hartsville, which is situated about 70 miles northeast of Columbia.

Shortly after midnight, police officers responded to a 911 call at the address. Upon arrival, they encountered the victim outside the home, clutching his chest. The officers recognized him from prior law enforcement interactions, according to a police report sourced by Florence’s CBS affiliate WBTW.

The victim reportedly informed the officers that it was his girlfriend who had attacked him with a knife.

Police then knocked on the front door of the residence several times but Todd allegedly refused to come out, according to a police report obtained by Myrtle Beach-based NBC affiliate WMBF.

“Go on somewhere, I am not coming out,” she allegedly said.

Next, Todd turned the lights out, authorities claim.

Police were eventually granted access to the house, reportedly found the woman laying in bed, and arrested her. Then, the officers took her to a nearby hospital after she complained about being in pain.

It was at the hospital where the woman made the telltale – unprompted – statements about the crime, law enforcement say.

“If I stabbed him, did you find any blood?” Todd allegedly asked.

Then, perhaps even more provocatively, the defendant allegedly said: “If I did stab him, he wasn’t supposed to be at my house anyway.”

The officer who penned the police report appeared to take issue with the second half of the second utterance, writing, “in previous dealings with Todd, she had told me that she allowed him to stay there and he even has a key to the home.”

The case against Todd is not currently docketed on the Darlington County court system’s public-facing website. Court records, however, show the defendant has previously had upward of two dozen criminal cases or charges filed against her since 2015.

The defendant is being detained in the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center without bond.
