Man arrested on stabbing charge

A 35-year-old Fort Belknap man is accused of stabbing a man in Havre Thursday afternoon and is being held at Hill County Detention Center pending a felony charge.

A caller on the 100 Block of 16th Avenue called 911 around 4:42 p.m. to report a man passed out in the yard, but after the man, Jared Charles Gibson, was awakened by the residents he became combative and stabbed a male victim in the arm, said Police Chief Gabe Matosich.

Gibson left the scene and was found in the alley about a block west of the incident and arrested on a charge of assault with a weapon, Matosich said.

The victim was transported by ambulance to the hospital, Matosich added, where he was treated for a severe arm laceration and later released.

Matosich said this morning that Gibson was being held without bond pending a felony charge for assault with a weapon.
