Athens-Clarke County police said they arrested a 37-year-old man Tuesday night after he allegedly stabbed his partner during a domestic dispute at their home on the east side.
Officers responded to the dispute on Big Oak Circle when it was reported by a witness at about 6:40 p.m., but suspect Eldridge William Vaughn fled the home in a truck and wasn’t arrested until later that evening.
The officers found the shirtless 35-year-old victim had a small stab wound to his side, along with cuts on his arms, legs and face. Police said dirt covered most of the victim’s back.
