On 01/26/25 at 1257hrs I, Deputy Benton, was dispatched to 5452 Highway 18 in reference to a possible stabbing. Upon arrival I made contact with Abraham Stephens who was lying on the ground behind the building at the address with visible blood all over his person. Mr. Stephens was conscious and speaking. Mr. Stephens stated he and another person, Gerald Tharpe, had been in an altercation and Mr. Tharpe had repeatedly stabbed him.
