(KAIR)--A weekend party in Potter sends one man to the hospital when he is stabbed in the leg.
That word from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie who says 18-year-old Cummings resident Dacota Spencer was transported to the Atchison Hospital for treatment of the injury.
The Sheriff's Office was called to the hospital, where Spencer told investigators the stabbing happened around 1:30 Saturday morning, following a verbal altercation with the suspect.
Although Spencer told investigators that he did not see the weapon, Laurie says it appears a knife was used in the stabbing. “He couldn't say 100-percent what it was, but the entry's definitely consistent with a knife.”
The investigation is continuing and a suspect is being sought. “We're pretty sure we know who he is,” Laurie tells MSC News. “We do have a name, and we're just trying to pinpoint where exactly he's residing and where he may be at this time.”
Spencer was treated for his injury and released from the hospital.
