OKLAHOMA CITY — A 20-year-old Edmond man has been charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of a well-known homeless man known as "Bicycle Bob."

Oklahoma County prosecutors on Wednesday charged Travis Monroe Jim in the Oct. 17 killing of 54-year-old Dwight Morgan, who was often seen riding a bicycle in the Oklahoma City suburb.

According to a police affidavit, Jim admitted to authorities he had been drinking and swung a knife at Morgan after the two argued over where Jim was sleeping behind an Edmond business. He also told authorities he hit Morgan in the head with a hammer.

Jim is being held without bond in the Oklahoma County jail. Court records do not indicate if he has been assigned an attorney. By Associated Press

	Report Comment Thunder196, Tulsa (11/4/2009 5:31:07 PM) It is good to know that this homeless man was not just forgotten. Let's hope the one charged with this crime gets the sentence he deserves, if found guilty.
	Report Comment FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/4/2009 5:32:58 PM) The excuses people give for murder these days. This guy actually believes he did the right thing. Well the right thing for this man is LWOP.
	Report Comment 2ndjoyce, BA (11/4/2009 7:28:24 PM) Another murder influenced by alcohol. Sometimes it's with a car, sometimes with a hammer. These stories make me feel so helpless.
	Report Comment tulsaGuy, (11/4/2009 9:51:05 PM) Alcohol is stupid.
