SUMTER, SC — A 20-year-old waitress is charged with murder after admitting she stabbed her live-in boyfriend in Sumter.

Deputies responded Saturday to Lot 3, 1920 Peach Orchard Road after a call and found 21-year-old Mallory Jerell Richardson stabbed to death on the mobile home’s living room floor.

Helen Louise Wells admitted to officers that she stabbed her live-in boyfriend with a knife after an argument, according to Lt. Robert B. Burnish of the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.

Wells, who works as a waitress at the Huddle House restaurant near Shaw Air Force Base, threw up as deputies examined the body, screamed, then confessed, according to an incident report.

Wells told deputies that she and Richardson had been arguing about a female friend of hers. She said they had been in physical fights before and that she was afraid.

Deputies retrieved a knife allegedly used to stab Richardson from the home’s front yard after Wells told them where she threw it, the report said.

Richardson’s body was blocking the door when deputies arrived and had a deep puncture wound to the upper chest, near his heart, the report said. Wells met deputies in the front yard.

EMS workers were unable to revive him.

Peach Orchard Road is S.C. 441, which runs along the west side of Shaw Air Force Base.

Wells was arrested, charged with murder and taken to the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center. No bond has not been set.

The headline gives the impression that she threw up at the restaurant.

The fact is what she does for a living and where she works has ZERO to do with the fact she killed her boyfriend....

Guess they couldn’t help themselves injecting the white trashy element into the story...

I didn’t mention the eyebrows I don’t think. Probably would gag a little if I did.

WTF is going on and has been going on out there to raise these generations of lost souls? Our society is a frikking mess. It’s bad, really, really bad and very pervasive. This isn’t limited to a small minority of people. It’s becoming the vast majority.

IIRC, the owner named it that because something about people huddling up for great food and company after football games.

I’ve never eaten there, but they’re almost everywhere down here in GA

Thanks! I know I’ve seen them around here, and from the article, I knew they’re also in South Carolina.

The Huddle House is actually a large chain of diners in the South. It's sort of a Waffle House knock-off.

Anyway, I agree with another poster about the relevance of Huddle House to this story. The headline makes it seem like she committed this murder while on the job as a waitress. That's just odd.
