ST. BERNARD, Ohio — A 34-year-old woman has been charged in connection with a fatal stabbing in St. Bernard, according to Hamilton County court records.

Shirley Pryor-McAdam has been charged with murder for 62-year-old Ronald Crawley's death, according to an affidavit.

Hamilton County dispatch said police responded to a report of a stabbing around 2 a.m. Tuesday in the 4900 block of Chalet Drive near Saint Mary Cemetery and Mausoleum.

Crawley was found stabbed at the scene, and he was transported to UC Medical Center, where he died, according to court documents.

According to court documents, when officers arrived at the residence, they found Pryor-McAdam lying on top of Crawley. When she was taken to the police cruiser while first responders attempted life-saving measures, Pryor-McAdam asked for an attorney, according to court documents.

When Pryor-McAdam called 911 she said an argument broke out between her and Crawley, according to the affidavit. During the call, Pryor-McAdam began to say someone else was at the scene before redacting the statement, saying "I'm not even gonna lie," according to the affidavit.

Pryor-McAdam is currently being held at the Hamilton County Jail.

On Wednesday in court, a judge ordered she be held on a $250,000 bond.
