On August 25th, 2025 I was close to Paulding Wellstar ER and an assault with deadly weapon call came in at [200 BLOCK] Hightower Rd. The call was placed by a female named [WITNESS #1] and she stated to dispatch that she was at the ER with her son who just got stabbed at the residence.
I arrived very quickly and met with the staff at the ER. I went to the back and made contact with [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1]’s right hand was bandaged up and the nurses said it appeared he had a stab wound that went through his whole arm. [VICTIM #1] got into a room and I asked him what happened.
[VICTIM #1] stated he does not want to speak with me about what happened. [VICTIM #1] stated that he fell in the yard onto some metal and it went through his arm. I advised him that I already had information that he was stabbed by someone at his residence. I advised him we would be investigating the incident as it was likely a family violence act. [VICTIM #1] stated he wasn’t trying to make my job harder, but he wasn’t going to give me any information either.
I contacted CID and informed them that we had a stabbing and where it occurred. CID stated they would respond. I then made contact with Dep. Caldwell who was responding to the incident location. I advised him to go to the residence and make contact with anyone there and investigate into it being a crime scene. Dep. Caldwell later informed me that the place where the stabbing took place was outside of the residence and there was a pool of blood identifying this area.
I advised him that CID would be en route to his location. I remained at the ER until Detective Moyher and Detective Kud arrived. They conducted an interview on scene and stated they were going to pursue warrants. Dep. Caldwell advised me that the suspect, Calvin Hightower Sr, must have left on foot prior to their arrival and he was not at the residence.
A search of the area was conducted for the apprehension of Calvin Sr. but after about two hours there was no leads to follow for his current location and he was not found.
