Darnell Jackson, 35, was arrested for Aggravated Assault resulting in Serious Bodily Injury and Obstruction of Justice. Booking documents say the victim found Jackson in his home with a female roommate, leading to an altercation that eventually led to the stabbing.
When officers arrived minutes later, the found Jackson attempting to clean blood from the crime scene. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital for emergency surgery. Afterwards, the victim identified Jackson as the suspect.

Jackson is currently being held without bail.
