Man Behind Bars For Allegedly Carving Up Girlfriend | Ohio News Network (ONN)
"SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — A southwest Ohio woman said her ex-boyfriend is in jail Wednesday night for using a knife to carve his name on her chest.
It was there at Mike Welliver's Springfield home where police said he got into a bizarre argument with his girlfriend.
"Mr. Welliver stated he didn't like the tattoo and said she should have it removed," said Lieutenant Jim Hutchins of the Springfield Police Department.
That's when Welliver allegedly gave her an ultimatum, ONN's Denise Alex reported.
He pulled out a meat cleaver and said he'd cut off the tattoo from her buttocks or he'd cut something into her chest.
The victim opted for the latter choice.
"Welliver carved into her chest the word love, spelling for the word love like 'luv' with a heart," said Hutchins.
Neighbors said Welliver carved his name onto his girlfriend's chest because she was cheating on him and he wanted to mark his territory.
They also said she was a willing participant, but police still locked him up.
"With his size and with the meat cleaver she felt threatened so she didn't fight him," said Hutchins.
Police said Welliver took several pictures of the chest carving with his cell phone. They said he shared them with officers at the jail who in turn submitted the phone as evidence.
