SANDY, Utah — A Sandy man is facing aggravated assault and domestic violence charges after police say he stabbed his grandmother ten times during an argument.
Andrew Miguel Gutierrez, 18, was arrested on Sunday after police were called to the 200 block of West Harrison Street after reports of a stabbing.
When officers arrived at the home, they say they found the victim, identified as Gutierrez's grandmother, with stab wounds to her left arm and chest. Police also found a bloodied knife and blood on the floor of the kitchen.
Witnesses reported that Gutierrez and the woman had been arguing in the kitchen before the incident. No one saw Gutierrez stab his grandmother, but they did witness him holding a knife and running away from the home.
Police later found Gutierrez at 9000 South State Street and arrested him without incident, with investigators adding that Gutierrez's hands and clothing were covered in blood at the time of his arrest.
Gutierrez faces charges of aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury and two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child.
