A Warren County man was treated for stab wounds at River Region Medical Center Saturday, and his live-in girlfriend was arrested and charged with assaulting him, said Sheriff Martin Pace.
James Earl Cail, 53, 30 Erves Lane, Lot 13, had been stabbed several times with a folding pocket knife after the couple argued, Pace said.
Deputies were notified by emergency room personnel at River Region Medical Center at 11:25 a.m. after Cail was taken there for treatment by Rhonda Michelle Drayton, 30, of the same address.
Pace said investigators believe Cail received his wounds just before daybreak, but did not seek treatment until becoming more concerned about them as the morning progressed.
Drayton was charged with aggravated domestic assault, Pace said. She was taken to the Warren County Jail and later released after posting $2,500 bond.
Cail was treated and released, said River Region spokesman Diana Gawronski.
