A Mountain Home man has been charged with aggravated assault after stabbing his roommate in the shoulder, the Baxter County sheriff said Monday.
Christopher Michael McDaniel, 32, was arrested Saturday after calling 911 about 7:43 a.m. and reporting that he had stabbed a friend, Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery said in a statement.
The stabbing occurred in the 4300 block of U.S. 62 East in Mountain Home, McDaniel told authorities. A deputy went there, and the man answered the door, Montgomery said. The victim said he and McDaniel were friends who lived together, and the assault “was precipitated by an argument over some things on Facebook,” according to the sheriff’s office.
The victim had been stabbed once in the left shoulder and was tended at home by emergency medical personnel, authorities said.
McDaniel was booked in to the Baxter County jail on the felony aggravated assault charge and is being held in lieu of $10,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court July 30.
