A Hope man was arrested after an argument at a Columbus home ended with a stabbing.
Columbus police were sent to a home in the 900 block of 11th Street at about 3:50 p.m. Monday about a disturbance, said Lt. Matt Harris, Columbus Police Department spokesman.
There they spoke with a man who said that he had been stabbed in the leg by Daniel T. Beeker II, 28, of Hope, after an argument inside his home, Harris said.
The man stated that Beeker broke out a second floor window at the residence and jumped off of the roof to escape after the stabbing, Harris said.
Officers located Beeker a short time later near 11th Street and Sycamore Street where he was taken into custody without incident. The officers noted that Beeker had injuries to his head and face and he was transported to Columbus Regional Hospital for treatment, Harris said.
Beeker was later transported to the Bartholomew County Jail on a preliminary charge of battery resulting in bodily injury.
