One man is in custody and another is in the hospital after the Anchorage Police Department responded to a reported stabbing outside an Eagle River residence around 7:40 p.m. Thursday, according to a statement from APD.
Hugh Jeffrey Perry, 41, was charged with first-degree assault after he allegedly stabbed his roommate multiple times in the yard outside their Eagle River home, APD said.
Before police arrived at the residence, Perry apparently fled the scene in a green Ford Explorer. He was later discovered by Alaska State Troopers and arrested at a home in Palmer, according to APD.
Bail was set at $30,000 with a third-party custodian issued.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for his injuries and is reportedly in stable condition, police said.
