ROSEVILLE, Mich. – A Roseville woman accused of stabbing her 31-year-old boyfriend to death is charged with homicide -- manslaughter, a 15-year felony, Roseville police announced Monday.
Stacy Glass, 27, was arrested after police found her boyfriend, Shane Bigger, of Eastpointe, stabbed to death inside her house on 12 Mile Road near Birmingham Street.
Police said Bigger's injuries were from "an apparent edged weapon" and that he was stabbed multiple times.
Glass is being held on $100,000 bail at the Macomb County Jail and will be required to wear a tether if bond is posted.
She is scheduled to return to court Feb. 8 in the 39th District Court.
Close friends admit Bigger and his girlfriend had a rocky relationship and insist that the girlfriend was the aggressor. But Bigger decided to stick around.
"He loved her," said family friend Samantha Grillo. "He loved her daughter. He was going to raise her as his own. I just don't understand. Why him?"
Police don't know what prompted the stabbing, but the investigation is ongoing.
Family and friends react
"For something like this to happen to somebody like that it's just -- there's, like, no words for it," family friend Vernecia Singletary said.
"My heart sank to my stomach," Grillo said. "I didn't believe it."

Friends and family held a vigil at 8 p.m. Sunday outside the home where Bigger was found.
When neighbors stepped outside, they saw police arresting Glass.
"I'm just waiting to hear what happened and what went on," neighbor Jenny Whitte said.
"Everything is pretty much unanswered," neighbor Fred Dhurst said. "Very strange. It's a quiet neighborhood."
"I saw her handcuffed and put in the car," neighbor Richard Noce said. "I was like, 'Wow, she's such a nice lady.' I don't know how this could happen."
A Michigan State Police forensic team marked evidence on the front lawn and inside the house.
"I would assume something happened in and out. They did take a vehicle away this morning," Whitte said. "I thought that there was a child that lived in that house, and that makes me wonder also."
