Columbia man accused of stabbing his brother in his leg

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia man was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly used a knife to stab his brother in his leg.

Steven Swanson, 32, was charged on Thursday in Boone County with first-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says police were called at 2:05 p.m. about a possible incident of domestic violence.

A witness told police that Swanson had stabbed his own brother in his right leg and ran away with the knife, court documents say. Swanson arrested shortly after and police found him with the knife, the statement says.  

Swanson allegedly told police that an argument began, he pulled out a knife, his brother told him to put the knife away and Swanson then stabbed him, the statement says.
