Stabbed man allegedly walked into knife

A Winter Lane woman contacted the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office after she woke up to several people yelling outside and her boyfriend returned with a knife wound.

According to Sheriff Chuck Curry, a different resident reported he was sleeping when he heard a disturbance or possibly a vehicle crash in front of his home, and he went back to bed. He was again awoken when the boyfriend of the caller said he was coming into the man’s house.

The man then got a knife and went outside, at which point he was struck by the boyfriend. The man held the knife up and told the man to stay back and go away, and later told deputies he believes the boyfriend was cut by walking into the knife. Curry said the man holding the knife has an injured arm and couldn’t use it well. Curry also noted those involved did not seem drunk.
