Arraignment held for Murray woman charged in Goodwill stabbing

The Murray woman accused of stabbing a woman and injuring a man at the Murray Goodwill store Tuesday made a court appearance Wednesday.

The Murray Sentinel reported 30-year-old Madison Hinchey was charged with attempted murder, and two counts of assault.

Murray Police said they were called to Goodwill around 1:40 Tuesday afternoon and found two victims, one stabbed in the chest and the other had been hit with a shovel.  Both were workers at Goodwill according to court records.

The records also say Hinchey came to the store and confronted one employee, Emily Odom in the back of the store.  Witnesses say Hinchey yelled at Odom and pulled a knife from her purse and began chasing her through the store onto the loading dock outside. 

A second employee chased the women to the dock where Hinchey stabbed Odom in the chest before the other employee subdued her.  He was then struck with a snow shovel and bit on the arm.  

It was also reported earlier in the day that Hinchey was involved in another call involving Murray Police. 

Officers responded to a residence on Arbor Drive after receiving a call from a woman who said her sister was trying to kill her. Officers at the Goodwill stabbing told dispatchers Hinchey was the subject of the earlier Arbor Drive call.

Calloway District Judge Randall Hutchins set a preliminary hearing for April 29th at 9 am.  Hinchey is being held in the Calloway County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.
