Juvenile charged in cutting of teen A 10-year-old has been charged with assault in the cutting of a 16-year-old. According to Jackson Police Investigator Richard Harvey, the incident occurred around 8:30 p.m., March 12, at a residence in the 300 block of Davis Avenue. According to reports, investigating officers Sgt. Josh Garrett, Ben Marshall and Arvis Slack responded to a call from the Jackson Medical Center emergency room concerning a 16- year-old who had been cut on the hand. Further investigation and questioning of an adult relative who was present revealed that the 10-year-old allegedly struck a 9-year-old. The adult instructed the teen to spank the 10-year-old, who became angry and cut the teen on the hand with a knife. The teenager received a number of stitches to his hand and was released. The 10-yearold was arrested and reprimanded to juvenile authorities in Bay Minette. A detention hearing will be conducted in the near future.
Chief Charles Burge stated, Monday, that he believes the 10-year-old is possibly the youngest person to ever be arrested by the Jackson Police Department.
