On January 27, 2022, at approximately 7:40 PM, Kanawha County Deputies were dispatched to CAMC Memorial Hospital to speak to a 47-year-old male victim who wanted to report that he had been stabbed. A Kanawha County Deputy interviewed the victim and learned that the stabbing occurred inside a residence, located in the 100 block of Georges Drive, in Malden. The male victim had been stabbed in the upper right arm and was being treated by medical personnel.
The suspect was identified as a 38-year-old female named Jodi L. Ecklund. Based on the injury and the statement obtained from the male victim, Deputy K. Eskew obtained a warrant charging Ms. Ecklund with the felony offense of malicious wounding.
Deputies responded to the 100 block of Georges Drive to locate Jodi Ecklund. Once Deputies arrived at that location, Ms. Eklund was arrested and transported to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office where she was booked, and then transported to the South-Central Regional Jail to await her arraignment.
As is always the case in criminal matters, the charges against Ms. Ecklund are merely accusations. She is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Attached is the booking photo of Ms. Ecklund
