Taylorville police are investigating a weekend stabbing incident.
Police say officers were called to a residence Sunday in reference to a reported stabbing. When officers arrived, they quickly identified the suspect, who was taken into custody by Platoon A. The victim was transported to a trauma center for medical treatment.
Jacob W. Gray of Taylorville has been arrested and charged with Home Invasion and Aggravated Domestic Battery.
Police thanked Platoon A for their response, along with State’s Attorney John McWard and the State’s Attorney’s Office for their assistance with the charging process.
Authorities say Gray later appeared for a detention hearing under the Safety Act, where a judge ordered him held in custody after determining he posed a threat to public safety.
