Man stabbed roommate over loud sex

A Myrtle Beach man was charged with assaulting his roommate after the men argued because the suspect was being loud while having sex with a woman, according to a police report.

Russell Willis Shepherd Jr., 40, was charged with second-degree assault and battery after police were called to Casa Marina Apartments at 2703 North Kings Highway where they found a 58-year-old man had been stabbed in the hand, police said.



The victim told police he had been in another apartment with friends and when he returned to his apartment he found Shepherd being very loud while having sex with a 39-year-old homeless woman. The victim told police he waited outside and smoked a cigarette before he walked back to the apartment.

The man said once inside the apartment the couple continued to be loud so he yelled for them to be quiet. The man said Shepherd jumped up and stabbed him in the hand before he ran out of the apartment to get help from a neighbour.
