RENO COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a stabbing and have made an arrest.
On Friday, Sheriff's deputies were sent to a welfare check of Jane Stotts at her residence on 95th Avenue, according to a media release from the Reno County Sheriff's office.
The welfare check was initiated by her husband Larry Stotts after he dropped off at the Love’s store in McPherson with stab wounds. The individual who dropped him off told Love’s employees that Larry needed medical attention and left the area.
Deputies arrived at the Stott's residence and determined Jane Stotts was fine. While deputies were at the Stotts home, the Hutchinson Police Department had been sent to a suspicious vehicle on West Second Avenue. The vehicle was registered to Larry and Jane Stotts and appeared to have blood inside of it.
The vehicle has been seized by the Reno County Sheriff's Office for processing and they arrested Paul Stotts, the son of Larry and Jane Stotts on a requested charge for attempted first degree murder. He was booked into jail on Friday and is currently in the Reno County Correctional Facility, according to the release.
Larry Stotts was transported to Wesley Medical Center, has been treated for his wounds and is recovering.
