Winder Police responded to the stabbing of a 21-year-old male that occurred on Sunday evening at a residence located in the 200 block of Russell Road in Winder at approximately 4:30 pm.
According to information received by investigators for the Winder Police Department, a family gathering was taking place at the residence when the incident occurred. The 21-year-old victim became involved in an argument with his 16-year-old brother, which later turned physical. The dispute moved to an area within the home where other family members were not present. The 16-year-old was in possession of a knife that investigators believe was taken from the kitchen of the home, where the argument apparently began. Officers were called to the scene when the 21-year-old went outside to get his father while holding his stomach after having been stabbed.
An ambulance was called to the scene and transported the victim to a nearby hospital where he underwent surgery for the injury. The injury is not believed to be life threatening and the victim is expected to make a full recovery according to information received by police. The juvenile is being charged with aggravated assault through the juvenile court of Barrow County.

Four Auburn police officers have resigned or been fired in the two weeks, including the town’s police chief Fred Brown, and his second in command, Lt. Danny Kerns, both of whom resigned under what appeared to be pressure from city officials.
Sgt. Paul Nadeau was sworn in as interim chief Monday.
Brown and Kerns were reportedly pressured to resign after city officials concluded they had not dealt strongly enough with an officer who had misbehaved while on duty and an officer whose relationship with an 18-year-old girl had raised eyebrows and reports of political pressure.
One situation involved former Auburn police Sgt. Derek Ulrich, who more than a year ago confessed to having had sex while on duty with a local waitress. Brown and Kerns gave Ulrich a verbal warning, but never reported the incident to the mayor and city administrator as required by the city’s personnel policy. [Full Story »]
