- So we're-- we're responding to a call that's classified
as a stabbing at the moment.
A female is saying that there's a male that's bleeding,
and she had heard yelling, and that he was stabbed.
So we have units on scene, just got there, and, allegedly,
the next-door neighbor is--
is a suspect.
The victim's going to be going to the hospital as of now.
We have a perimeter set up around the suspect's residence.
He's known to be inside right now.
The residence doesn't have any power.
So we're keeping all the exits and entrances observed in case
he tries to run out.

Turn around! - Hands up.
Turn around.
- All right, listen to the sound of my voice.
Turn around.
Put your hands up.
Hands up!
OK.
Walk backwards slowly, Leroy.
Keep walking.
Stop.
Put your hands on top of your head
and interlace your fingers.
Turn your back.
- Yup, walk out.
- Y'all aingt gonna shoot me, right?
- No, you're good.
Let's go out here and talk, all right?
- [bleep] what?
- Figure out what's going on here.
- Your [inaudible]--
- He swung first, and he made contact with you?
- So he didn't hit you.
- OK.
How many times did you say you swung your work knife at him?
- Twice?
- OK, where do you think you--
you struck him with that work knife?
- Back of his head? - Yes, sir.
- OK.
How would you explain the motion of the knife when you used it?
- OK.
So--
- OK. OK.
Understood.
- Well, that-- we're--
- That's after [inaudible].
- We have a deputy with him right now.
- We've done a full-blown investigation,
made contact with all the witnesses
and all parties involved.
Our initial suspect was actually a victim.
And he'll be going home tonight.
- Well, what do you want to see happen with Kevin?
- OK.
But what-- do you want to see him go to jail?
- [inaudible] to speak--
- Do you want him to go to jail for hitting you?
- He did not want to press charges on a battery.
And he even signed a waiver of prosecution.
The suspect's at the hospital right now.
He is expected to, uh, survive and be
released within the next couple of days or so.
