When officers went into the house they found a 64 year old female laying on her back on the living room floor. The victim had duct tape around her wrist and her ankles.  She also had several cuts to her hands and wrist.

Also in the home officers found a 19 year old female who had cuts to her hands and feet. She was able to tell officers that when she came home today, her mom, and her mom`s husband were home arguing. She said the argument became physical when the man hit her mom. When she went to grab him off of her mom, he tossed her to the ground, picked up a knife and started trying to stab her. He then took a rope and used it to tie up her hands and feet to a chair. He then bound her mother with duct tape to another chair.

Both females had been cut by the man’s knife and were bleeding. While they were tied up, the man kept making threats to kill them both.

The 19 year old victim was able to break free and she ran to her bedroom. She blocked the door with a dresser, opened the window, and yelled outside for help. A 49 year old male neighbor came over and was able to pull her out the bedroom window.

The suspect then exited the house out the front door and the neighbor took to the ground. Other neighbors then come over to help him hold the suspect until police arrived.

Both females were transported to Spohn Memorial Hospital with injuries not believed to be life threatening.
