Police: Jealous woman stabs self, blames Centralia man

CHEHALIS – A 30-year-old woman who allegedly stabbed herself and blamed it on a Centralia man remains free on $10,000 unsecured bond following an appearance yesterday in Lewis County Superior Court.

Amy D. Moore is charged with malicious prosecution and also felony harassment for events that took place in mid-November. The case was filed Jan. 2 and she was summonsed to court.

Charging documents state Centralia police interviewed Moore at an Olympia hospital where she told them Michel Dobbs stabbed her three times in the chest, with one of the wounds puncturing a lung.

“She told police she would be handling the situation herself and had been in contact with several people, including Robbie Russell,” the documents state. Officers made it clear they would continue to investigate however, the documents state.

Police arrested Dobbs, and he told them Moore became enraged after showing up at his home and finding him in bed with another female, and that she grabbed two or three steak knives and began cutting her own hair and stabbed herself, according to the allegations.

Charging documents state Dobbs provided police with the hair she cut off as well as Facebook messages between the two in which she admitted the wounds were self-inflicted.

Moore told police the argument was over a letter she sent her father.

Court documents say the following day, Dobbs found a note written on a piece of wood on his doorstep that he was going to die, and that a female named Tammy Twidwell began receiving threatening text messages.

Defense attorney Joely O’Rourke noted to the judge yesterday afternoon her client was student at South Puget Sound College and not working, so she qualified for a court appointed attorney.

Moore has a Tumwater address.

During the hearing, Lewis County Superior Court Judge Nelson Hunt indicated Moore could not have any contact with the complaining witnesses.

O’Rourke requested they be allowed to have contact because they planned to be married next week.

Judge Hunt said no. A man who had been sitting next to Moore in court got up and left.

Moore was ordered to undergo administrative booking at the jail. Her arraignment is scheduled for next Thursday.

    @amused
    My thoughts PRECISELY. Just another snitch posing as a hard ass. Statements and name dropping. SMH.

  2. amused says:

    Last i knew “writing statements” of any kind is straight rat! Mentioning names of local known dealers wtf?? How is that going to help out the situation?? Is it going to make law enforcment pity u any more or less?? Or are you trying to prove wat a badass you are by “droping names?” for someone who claims “ride or die” this is pretty much dead in a ditch.

    Dobbs- crazy ass bitches! When does it end?

    XD you might have something there. Those Amy’s have an extra amount of passion. Every Amy that I have known couldn’t be trusted with a knife:) I’ve been trying to fix a crazy Amy for about 3 months now. It’s a challenge. She keeps talking about cutting off parts of her boyfriends anatomy:)

  5. XDs says:

    Michael is as mentally challenged as Amy is.
    I am thinking ALL Amy’s are crazy!

  6. GuiltyBystander says:

    Bill S. says it better than I did. Kudos for your loyalty, Michael, but Bill’s right: Run, don’t walk, as far from Amy as you can. Anyone who’s done what she has already done to you is not psychologically stable…it will only get worse if you keep enabling her. This time she turned the knife on herself, but what’s the guarantee for the next time? Time to start thinking addition by subtraction.

    BTW, if you’re just friends, why did Amy go off like that when she found you and another woman in bed together? “Just friends” don’t react like that.

  7. Dominoe says:

    What a psycho. So she gets cheated on, can’t handle it, stabs herself, then tries to set someone up, & send him to prison for her own “crime”. What a “wryder”. Lmfao. Sounds like your typical Centralia trash. A snitch by any other name smells the same. Too bad she didn’t choke to death on her own blood when she punctured her lung.

  8. Bill S says:

    Hey Michael. Courage on your part for posting on here and standing by your friend. Take it from someone who has tried to save a lot of crazy chicks over the years – it doesn’t work. My advice run – don’t give her demon even one whiff of oxygen. Save yourself man.

    “She told police she would be handling the situation herself and had been in contact with several people, including Robbie Russell,” the documents state. Robbie Russell, known LC drug dealer….. pretty obvious Dobbs and Moore are probably dopers too. next time she stabs herself she needs to try harder.

  10. Michael dobbs says:

    Listen I am not dating, or involved with Amy Moore or plan on marrying amy at any time in my life time, amy moore and myself are friends and friends only and hopefully are able to maintain our friendship through these troubled times.

  11. BobbyinLC says:

    Wow all the way around. And yes O’Rourke is the female attorney.

  12. GuiltyBystander says:

    “(A)my and I have remained good friends…”

    Thank God! I hate to think who she’d have stabbed if you two weren’t such “good friends.”

  13. Sammi says:

    Oh wow. Re-read the article. O’Rourke is her attorney and she is a woman.

  14. XDs says:

    That stupid sumbitch deserves a life of headaches if he marries that train wreck!

  15. michael dobbs says:

    I’m Michael dobbs and no I’m not the states key witness or any kind of witnesses at all. I didn’t write any statement what so ever in regards to amy or any other person or persons involved in this case. I was in court room with amy on the 21st for moral support and moral support only. As far as amy and I getting married there is no truth to that, amy and I have remained good friends despite all we have put each other through, I will continue to give any and all support to amy as I possibly can without violating the judges orders. I am not dating amy or anyone else for that matter. I hope I was able to answer all your question.

  16. Erica says:

    Reread article…. It states that Dobbs was accused and arrested and that O’Rourke is the man she plans on marrying. Whichever way you look at it, the guy is foolish to marry someone that has admitted to stabbing herself.

  17. Bill S says:

    She stabs herself and blames it on him and he gets arrested and now they are getting married. All these people are nuts. Hope they don’t add to the Lewis County gene pool.
