Arrest – A Bowling Green man was arrested Tuesday night after police were called to a stabbing incident at his home, 213 E. 13th Ave., according to a Bowling Green Police Department report.

When police arrived at the home of James Leroy Raymer, 29, at 6:23 p.m., the stabbing victim, who had one wound on his chest and two more on his left leg, said Raymer had assaulted him after an argument, then fled. Raymer allegedly threw a fan at another person at the home, who left the scene before officers arrived, but later showed police a two-inch wound on her leg.

Officers canvassing the neighborhood found Raymer in the 1200 block of Fair Street hiding behind a parked car. Raymer denied the stabbing, but a search of the car and the area turned up a kitchen knife and a pocketknife allegedly used in the assault, according to a report.

Raymer was charged with first-degree assault for the stabbing and fourth-degree assault for throwing the fan, according to the report. He was lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail, where he remains in lieu of a $25,000 cash bond.
