A fight that began in the men’s bathroom at Walmart Thursday ended with a stabbing.
Donald W. Roberts, 49, of Highwood Court, was stabbed in the stomach and behind the left ear by Tommy Sparks, 24, of Woodland Avenue, around 7:10 p.m., said Frankfort Police Maj. Fred Deaton.
The fight began in the bathroom and spilled into the checkout area, Deaton said.
A Walmart employee called police, and officers were on the scene two minutes later.
“There appears to be a family relationship between the men,” Deaton said. “For whatever reason, there was a physical altercation between the two.”
Sparks was charged with domestic assault and taken to Franklin County Regional Jail, Deaton said.
Roberts was taken to Frankfort Regional Medical Center and later to the University of Kentucky Hospital. He was discharged from the ER earlier today.
