PORT JERVIS – An 84-year-old man will be charged by State Police in the stabbing death of a 62-year-old woman in The Sentinel assisted living housing in Port Jervis.
Troopers from the Greenville barracks and Deerpark Town Police responded at around 11:39 p.m. on Saturday, December 13 where they found Patricia Winters stabbed to death inside her assisted living residence at 2237 Greenville Turnpike in Port Jervis.
