Authorities said they have arrested an Arkansas man accused of stabbing his daughter's boyfriend early Thursday.
An investigation revealed that the stabbing occurred in the 3100 block of North L Street in Fort Smith, according to a news release from the city's Police Department.
Troy Shores, 60, stabbed 42-year-old Daniel Nicely once in the abdomen after overhearing a verbal fight between the victim and Shores' 33-year-old daughter, the release states.
Officers said Nicely used the phone on North 35th Street to call police about 12:45 a.m. before being treated for injuries at a Fort Smith hospital.
Shores was charged with second-degree battery and booked at 5:20 a.m. into the Sebastian County jail. Records show he remained there Thursday afternoon in lieu of $5,000 bond.
