CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Kanawha County Sheriff's Department is looking for a man who allegedly stabbed his ex-wife multiple times in Clendenin on Thursday evening.

A Kanawha County Metro 911 dispatcher said Melissa Taylor was stabbed on Maywood Avenue in Clendenin at about 9:30 p.m. She was taken to the hospital with multiple wounds.

Clendenin Police Chief David Brinckman said Taylor was stabbed in a parking lot, and fled to a nearby bar for help. Taylor was listed in stable condition Friday morning at CAMC General Hospital.

A lookout alert was issued for the woman's ex-husband, 29-year-old John Allen Reed II. He was last seen driving his ex-wife's yellow 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier with "Melissa" in yellow lettering across the front windshield and a Chevrolet emblem on the back window, the dispatcher said.

Reed, a white male, was last seen wearing a cowboy hat. He allegedly used his ex-wife's credit card at a gas station in Clarksburg Friday morning, and the Sheriff's Department is obtaining a warrant for the suspect's arrest.

Anyone who has seen the vehicle or the suspect should immediately contact the Sheriff's Department at 304-357-1069.
