A domestic violence call in the Mountain Home community has led to attempted murder charges, according to the Henderson County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) Patrol Division.
The HCSO's Facebook page reported that the David Squad responded to the incident, where officers observed a "significant amount" of blood through the window of the home.
The post said officers also saw a male subject, later identified as Donald Garrett Jr., 33, who was "visibly covered in blood" while walking through the residence.
Upon this discovery, officers forced entry into the home and found two family members suffering from life-threatening stab wounds.
The post said officers immediately detained Garrett and provided critical life-saving measures to the victims while waiting for EMS to arrive.
Following the initial response, the Major Crimes Unit—Violent Crimes Division began an investigation.
As a result, Donald Garrett Jr. was charged with the following:
- Two counts of Attempted First Degree Murder
- Two counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill, Inflicting Serious Injury
Garrett appeared before a District Court Judge and was given a secured bond of $750,000. The HCSO said the incident remains under investigation.
