Grants Pass Police Incarcerated Man for Stabbing Mother with Butcher Knife
Grants Pass Police jailed a man for stabbing his mother with a butcher knife at a southwest city home early yesterday.
On Wednesday at 10:16 a.m., the Grants Pass 9-1-1 Communications Center received a call from a woman who reported that her adult son had stabbed her in the back and she was still impaled by the knife.
GPPD, Grants Pass Fire & Rescue and American Medical Response rushed to the crime scene at a home on SW Vicki Lane.
Upon arrival, officers arrested 33-year-old Adin Byron Kimball and began first aid for the victim who still had a 12-inch butcher knife sticking out from her shoulder blade. Arriving medics stabilized the victim and transported her to Three Rivers Medical Center for treatment. She was last reported to be in serious condition.
GPPD detectives assisted with the investigation. No reason was disclosed for the violent attack.
Kimball was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony 1st-Degree Assault and Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon. He was being held without bail pending his Circuit Court arraignment which is scheduled for this afternoon.
