The Brownwood Police Department released the following news release Monday morning concerning an incident on Saturday night.

On Saturday night, December 5, at approximately 9:35 pm, officers of the Brownwood Police Department responded to a report of an assault at a residence in the 100 blk of Bowie Circle.  While responding, officers learned that someone was stabbed and the suspect was still at the residence.

According to Brownwood Police, Officer Steven Dekeratry arrived first and located the suspect walking down the road with a pocketknife in his hand.  The male was detained and identified as Miguel Claudio, 41, of Brownwood.

Several witnesses were located in the yard of the residence, as well as the victim, who was identified as Trevor Ray Ross, 25, of Brownwood.   Ross was briefly interviewed before being transported to Hendricks Medical Center-Brownwood where he was treated for a non-life-threatening stab wound to his abdomen.

Witnesses at the scene reported that Claudio was at the residence of his girlfriend’s family.  Claudio desired to leave the gathering and argued with his girlfriend about this.  Eventually, Claudio was at the front door with his girlfriend; restraining her and pushing her out the door as she continually attempted to reenter the home.  Ross, seeing the pushing, approached and took Claudio outside and to the ground.  Other members of this group separated the two and, once they were both on their feet, Claudio rushed in with a pocketknife and stabbed Ross.

Claudio was arrested and transported to the Brown County Jail and charged with Aggravated Assault with a Weapon.  According to jail records, bond was set at $75,000.
