San Angelo Man Stabbed

Sunday, August 25, 2013, at approximately 12:33 a.m., San Angelo Police were dispatched to the Candlelight Apartments located at 15 E. 31^st ST. to investigate a reported stabbing.  One San Angelo man has been arrested in connection to the incident that left one man injured.
Once on scene, police located a 41-year-old male victim who was bleeding from a laceration to his left arm.  The victim said a man who ran away just before they arrived had assaulted him.  Shortly after, medical personnel arrived and transported the man to a nearby hospital for treatment of his nonlife-threatening injuries.  His condition is unknown at this time.

Police immediately searched the area and located Clifton D. Hall of San Angelo hiding behind a nearby fence.  Hall was taken into custody without incident.

Subsequent to the field investigation, police learned Hall and the victim were engaged in a verbal argument inside the apartment.  The argument escalated and at some point, Hall produced a knife and cut the victim.

After a brief search of the area, police found a bag near to where Hall was found hiding behind the fence.  A knife was located inside the bag along with less than 2 ounces of marijuana and several hydrocodone tablets.

Hall was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Possession of a Controlled Substance (Penalty Group 3 >400g) and Class B Possession of Marijuana.  He was transported to the Tom Green County Jail without incident.
