Man Stabs Friend In Face With Fork Following Feud

A 52-year old Carrollton man has been charged with aggravated assault after Carroll County deputies say he stabbed a friend in the face with a fork.

When he did return, one of the friends involved in the earlier argument “came to his car door and tried to keep him in his vehicle” and “ stabbed him three times in the face with a fork.”

The victim told deputies that he then “returned back to his vehicle and then to his own residence.”

Investigators then interviewed the suspect who was identified as Luis Ruiz-Medrano.

Ruiz-Medrano told deputies that he and the forking-victim had been drinking “when they started arguing.” Ruiz-Medrano said the victim had stated that he was “going home to get a gun and bat and would return.”
