A Georgia man was arrested after he accused his girlfriend of stealing from him and allegedly stabbed her to death during an ensuing argument, authorities said Sunday.
The Winder Police Department said Ralph Butler, 58, confronted 50-year-old Yolanda Hammond just before 11 p.m. at a residence on Bush Chapel Drive regarding some items he claimed she had stolen from him.
As Butler and Hammond argued, police said another man tried to intervene. Police said Butler and the other man began to fight and Butler struck the man, who injured his head.
