Investigators said they learned after reviewing 911 records that Benjamin had called and informed call takers that he had stabbed his sister.
According to documents read in court on Thursday, the teen allegedly told officers during an interview that he woke up in his sister’s bedroom with a knife in her neck.
According to the court documents, he reportedly said that when he realized he wasn’t dreaming, he removed the knife from her neck, turned on the light, applied pressure to the wound, and a few seconds later ran to his room to get his phone and call 911. He said he was given instructions to perform CPR.
The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
