WILKES COUNTY, N.C. — Wilkes County deputies say a woman beat a man to death with a baseball bat recently.
Deputies say they got a call around 3:26 pm Wednesday about a possible dead person.
They showed up at a home on Conley Shomaker Road in the Ferguson community. Medical personnel accompanied them as they found 47-year-old John Paul Robinson, dead, in the home.
According to a press release, he suffered "fatal blunt force trauma." They've charged 39-year-old Tabatha Renee Triplett with murder in the case. The sheriff's office says this stems from a domestic situation, and Triplett bludgeoned Robinson with a baseball bat before he died.
She's being held in the Wilkes county jail with no bond.
