**UPDATE** 

A Liberty man is hospitalized after his brother stabbed him during an altercation over missing drugs.

Casey County Sheriff Chad Weddle responded to the call shortly after 3:30pm Wednesday, about five miles out of Liberty on Poff Emerson Rd. The caller, Kayla Evans, stated that 34 year old Jordan T. Watson had stabbed her boyfriend, Chris Watson, and the two had left the scene. A short time later, the Casey County Hospital contacted dispatch and advised that Chris was in the ER.

Sheriff Weddle and Officer Ronnie Smith went to the hospital, where Chris Watson stated that he and his brother Jordan had gotten into a fight because Jordan had stolen his Suboxone pills. 

Chris Watson was stabbed three times with a pocket knife, including a serious wound to the neck. He was flown to UK Hospital in Lexington for further treatment.

Jordan Watson was arrested on charges of Assault-1st Degree.
