Shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday, Kosciusko County Sheriff's Deputies were called to Regency Estates Trailer Park in Pierceton for a possible stabbing.
When officers arrived, they discovered Eric Lyhue Sizemore, 21, formerly of Pierceton, with a cut on his chin and a 3-inch knife wound to his back.[[In-content Ad]]The man who allegedly stabbed Sizemore, Michael Bryan Howard, 31, of 8280 E. US 30 Lot 19, Pierceton, had fled from his trailer and was hiding inside the residence at lot 30.
Howard was taken into custody in the yard outside the residence as neighbors looked on.
When detectives arrived, they learned that Sizemore reportedly was allowed in the residence at lot 19, where he came in contact with Howard and a fight ensued. Sizemore reportedly was cut in his chin and back during the altercation.
When Sizemore went outside the mobile home, residents started to gather, and they allegedly saw Howard flee from the trailer carrying two knives.
Howard was chased by a group of people and went to lot 30 to hide. He remained in the lot 30 residence until officers persuaded him to come out.
Police believe Howard fell and suffered a large cut to his wrist while running from the group of people.
Howard was taken to Kosciusko Community Hospital for surgery to repair his arm.
Sizemore also was taken to Kosciusko Community Hospital where he had surgery for his wounds. He was released this morning.
After being treated at KCH, Howard was booked into Kosciusko County Jail at 10:22 p.m. Tuesday for felony aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He is being held on $10,000 bond.
The incident still is under investigation and detectives will meet the Kosciusko County Prosecutor's Office this morning and more charges could be filed.
The Pierceton Police Department, Claypool Police Department and Multi-Township EMS assisted at the scene.
