A woman was stabbed in the back during a domestic incident Monday afternoon, according to Troup County sheriff’s officials.

The victim and a man, identified as Fred Beegle Jr., 36, of Lanett, Alabama, were at a home in the 500 block of Briley Road and arguing over a dog, said Sgt. Stewart Smith, Troup County sheriff’s public information officer. The argument became physical, and during a struggle, Beegle allegedly stabbed the victim in the lower back with an unspecified type of knife.

Beegle fled the scene, Smith said, but was later found by deputies and taken into custody without incident. The victim was taken to West Georgia Medical Center, where she was treated and released Monday.

Beegle faces a charge of aggravated assault under the Family Violence Act. He was being held at the Troup County Jail this morning, but had not yet been processed into the jail’s system.
