The Chandler man convicted of stabbing his roommate with the hopes of sucking his blood as part of a “vampire” ritual has been sentenced to three years probation.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Warren Granville spared 24-year-old Aaron Homer any jail time for the bizarre incident, during which Homer and his girlfriend, 21-year-old Amanda Williamson, tried to drink Homer’s roommate, Robert Maley’s, blood.
The couple, according to Maley, is “into vampire stuff” and got angry when they refused to allow them to slurp blood from his arm.
Maley says he’d let the pair suck his blood in the past but this time he wasn’t interested.

After Maley told the couple they couldn’t suck his blood, Homer became furious and stabbed him in the arm.
Bleeding
heavily, Maley didn’t immediately call an ambulance because there was a
warrant out for his arrest for a probation violation. Rather, he ran
out of the apartment leaving a snack for Homer and Williamson trail of blood leading out of the apartment.
Simultaneously, firefighters were treating someone next door to Maley’s apartment when they saw a man with blood gushing out of his arm. They called police.
When
police arrived, Williamson and Homer were sitting in the blood-covered
apartment. Williamson said she stabbed Maley in self defense after he
attacked her. Homer told several different stories — none of which were
believed by police — before finally settling on claiming Maley made
fun of their “religion,” so he stabbed him.
