Others who live in the home told investigators they heard Immel and the man arguing before the stabbing. One woman said arguments between the two are frequent and described the wound as bleeding uncontrollably, police wrote.
He was transported by Centre LifeLink EMS to Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment of an about one-inch stab wound, police wrote. The charging document did not describe his condition and a message left with the department was not immediately returned.
