A Warren County man was cut in a domestic dispute Sunday night, Sheriff Martin Pace said today.

Derrick Darnell Payne, 26, a resident of Kendra Drive, drove himself to River Region Medical Center with a knife wound to his left forearm, said Pace. He told authorities his girlfriend cut him after they argued at her home on Whipperwill Road, said the sheriff, but that he did not want to press charges against her.

Pace said investigators have spoken with the woman, whom he did not identify. She said she would meet with them today to give her account of what happened, he said, and no charges had been filed against her.

A knife believed used in the assault was recovered at the woman’s home, the sheriff said.

Under domestic assault laws, the district attorney could decide to prosecute the woman even without the victim’s cooperation if the case warrants it, said Pace, stressing that the investigation is continuing.

Payne was treated and released, said River Region spokesman Allen Karel.
