Attempted Murder Nets 16-Year Sentence

SNOW HILL — An Ocean City woman, who pleaded guilty in October to attempted second-degree murder after a stabbing incident in a resort residence in May, was sentenced last week to 30 years in jail, all but 16 years of which was suspended.

Around 3:50 a.m. on May 9, Ocean City Police and paramedics responded to a residence on Robin Drive for a reported stabbing incident. OCPD officers arrived on the scene and located a victim who had obvious injuries to her neck and shoulders. During the investigation, police learned the victim, whose name was not released, had been in a verbal argument with the suspect, later identified as Sharon Lee Ward, 47, of Ocean City.

During the argument and ensuing struggle, Ward attacked the victim with a kitchen knife, stabbing her multiple times in the neck. The victim was able to flee the unit, and with the assistance of neighbors, was able to contact police. The victim was treated by Ocean City paramedics for stab wounds to the neck and was later transported to PRMC for treatment. Ward was also treated at the scene for minor injuries and was transported to AGH where she was later released to the OCPD.
