Chief Deputy Scott Hall of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office said this morning it was not clear what prompted the crime.
He said in a statement Deputy T.J. Vesce responded to the James Street area of Hobgood around 10 p.m. and learned the victim was cut and sustained a severe laceration to his left forearm.
Further investigation led Vesce to obtain warrants on Jashon Rascoe, 16, for felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
Rascoe was jailed on $1,500 secured bond and has a May 17 court date.
