Triple Stabbing Suspect Arrested In North OC

STANTON, CA — A man was arrested after allegedly stabbing his father, mother and sister at their Stanton home. The 21-year-old was taken into custody without Friday morning, Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesperson said, and his name will be released after he is formally booked into the Orange County Jail.

Deputies were called out on a domestic disturbance report about 12:50 a.m. to the 11100 block of Irwin Drive.

"There was a family argument that had escalated into a physical altercation," OCSD spokesperson Carrie Braun said.

At the house, the officers discovered four victims: the three family members with stab wounds and the suspect's girlfriend with a contusion to the face, Lt. E. Manhart of the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.

All four victims were taken to a hospital, and were all expected to survive, Braun said.

In the course of the investigation, authorities discovered that the suspect had gotten into an altercation with his family members prior to the stabbings.

The suspect also suffered unspecified injuries, but was taken into custody.
