ELYRIA — An Elyria man was arrested for domestic violence after he stabbed his wife in the thigh, according to police.

Travis Gibson, 30, is jailed on $2,500 bond, according to the county jail.

Officers were sent to 221 George St. yesterday after a 911 hangup call came in about 12:30 a.m., according to a police report.

They arrived to find Gibson on the porch of the home. His wife, Renee, 38, walked out of the home and said their dog had bit her in the leg. Gibson confirmed that, and officers observed Renee Gibson’s pajama pants were bloody. Officers left.

A few minutes later they were called back to the home because Renee Gibson had called and changed her story. She wasn’t bitten by a dog, she told a dispatcher, but had been stabbed by Travis Gibson.

She told officers her husband had left and was walking near East Avenue and Ninth Street. Officers found him there and cuffed him.

Renee Gibson told officers she and her husband were arguing about him cheating on her when he grabbed a knife off the dresser and was pointing it at her. They were going back and forth calling each other names when he grabbed her arm and threw her across the bed, the report said. That is when she was cut on the left thigh by the knife, she said.

Travis Gibson told officers he was leaving and was packing his clothes.

Renee Gibson did not explain why she initially claimed to have been bitten by the dog but said that when her husband left she called police back and explained what had happened.

Renee Gibson signed a domestic violence complaint against her husband, and he was taken to the Lorain County Jail.
