A man accused of stabbing his stepfather at an automobile plant in north Mississippi is in the custody of law enforcement.
The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office reported that 25-year-old Martez Orr is charged with aggravated assault following a heated argument that escalated at the Volvo plant in Byhalia. The incident occurred Wednesday when Orr allegedly stabbed his unidentified stepfather in the neck with a kitchen knife during a dispute between the two men.
Authorities said the men were in a vehicle at the time of the altercation. Orr is accused of taking his stepfather’s car in an attempt to flee the scene but struck another vehicle while trying to escape. Deputies reported that they ordered Orr out of the car, but he refused to comply, prompting them to use a taser.
Officials did not provide an update on the status of the stabbing victim or the nature of the argument that led up to the physical altercation.
