Dispute Leads To Stabbing

By Patrick Sullivan | July 17, 2018

One man was stabbed and another was arrested after an argument broke out among a group of acquaintances in a Garfield Township apartment complex parking lot.

The 20-year-old victim, a Traverse City man, was taken to Munson Medical Center after suffering a non-life threatening stab wound to his shoulder from a pocket knife, says Grand Traverse County Sheriff Capt. Chris Barsheff.

Deputies arrested the 37-year-old suspect, also from Traverse City, for assault with a dangerous weapon after they investigated the incident that happened a the Hilltop Apartments complex Saturday just before midnight.

An argument broke out as a group of three or four people were traveling together into Traverse City and became frustrated with the suspect, who was moving slowly and causing everyone to have to wait, Barsheff says.
