A woman was stabbed in the back during a domestic incident Monday afternoon, according to Troup County sheriff’s officials.
The victim and a man, identified as Fred Beegle Jr., 36, of Lanett, Alabama, were at a home in the 500 block of Briley Road and arguing over a dog, said Sgt. Stewart Smith, Troup County sheriff’s public information officer. The argument became physical, and during a struggle, Beegle allegedly stabbed the victim in the lower back with an unspecified type of knife.
Beegle fled the scene, Smith said, but was later found by deputies and taken into custody without incident. The victim was taken to West Georgia Medical Center, where she was treated and released Monday.
Beegle faces a charge of aggravated assault under the Family Violence Act. He was being held at the Troup County Jail this morning without bond.
Shooting disrupts weekend party
Attendees to a party in the 900 block of Georgia Avenue said someone fired shots outside the home early Saturday morning.
A responding officer said people were fleeing the area on foot and in cars when he arrived about 2:54 a.m., and he couldn’t stop them for information. He spoke with the resident, who said she had her back turned when the shots were fired.
She said a dark-colored car pulled up just before the incident and several males got out, but was unsure who fired and why. The officer said there were “numerous” bullet casings on the porch of the home. Police also located a discarded gun magazine.
Police said there was no evidence that anyone was struck by bullets. Police were investigating it as a reckless conduct incident.
