Two men were arrested Sunday night after one stabbed the other in the chest, police said Monday.
Jose Contreras, 42, of 69 Henry Street, and Desiedero Sandoval-Garcia, 42, of 144 Henry Street, were involved in some sort of altercation out front of the steps of a mobile home, though police had few details about what had occurred or why the arrests were made.
According to the police activity log, a call of assault with a weapon originated from Sandoval-Garcia's home at 144 Henry St., though officers said the call actually took place at 695 Pacific St. During officers responding to that call, Contreras was arrested and charged with first-degree assault and carrying a dangerous weapon. He was identified as Sandoval-Garcia as the person who stabbed him, according to police.
According to the police activity log, at a second call originating from 207 Henry St. for reports of child neglect, Sandoval-Garcia was arrested and charged with third-degree assault. He had a stab-wound in his chest at the time and was taken to the hospital and released Monday morning.
Sandoval-Garcia had apparently posted bond as he was in the police station Monday morning bandaged up and looking to retrieve his wallet from police possession.
