Sanford woman charged in fatal bar stabbing

A woman was arrested early Wednesday in connection with the fatal stabbing of another woman at a bar.

Before 1 a.m., officers with the Sanford Police Department responded to a stabbing at the Backdoor Bar located at 105 E. Main Street. Police said one woman, 39-year-old Tabetha Bailey O`Quinn, was stabbed in her stomach and was transported to UNC Hospital, where she died as a result of her injuries.

Just a few hours later, Kimberly Coe Creador, 51, of Sanford, was charged with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing, according to police. Creador was being held Wednesday in the Lee County Jail with no bond.

Backdoor Bar, described on their Facebook page as "biker-friendly," is open daily, except Mondays, from noon until 2 a.m. Entertainment is held nightly at 9 p.m.

Because of the stabbing the bar had its ABC permits suspended.
