ANNAPOLIS, MD — An Arnold man wanted for attempted murder for allegedly stabbing a relative during an argument turned himself in to Annapolis Police on Thursday.

The Annapolis Police Department had been searching for more than two weeks for Norwood Nutter, 34, for his role in a stabbing that occurred Feb. 4 on Bens Drive.

Officers were called to a fight in a parking lot about 3:35 p.m., but couldn’t find anyone arguing or fighting when they arrived. Soon after, officials at Anne Arundel Medical Center alerted police that a 30-year-old man came to the hospital with a knife wound to the chest.

The victim told police he was in the parking lot at Bens Drive talking to Nutter, who is a relative. An argument began and Nutter reportedly took out a knife and stabbed the victim in the chest.

Nutter was arrested Thursday and charged with attempted first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and possession of dangerous weapon with intent to injure. He is being held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center without bond.

Anyone with information about the attack is asked to contact Detective John Murphy at 410-260-3439 or jhmurphy@annapolis.gov.
