Earlier today, Woodfin Police responded to a stabbing which occurred at the intersection of Old Home Rd and Barton Rd. Witnesses observed a man assaulting a woman, inside and outside of a burgundy 2000 Mercury Mountaineer. The suspect fled the scene in the victim’s Mountaineer prior to police arrival. Officers found the victim, stabbed multiple times about her body. She was rushed to a local hospital and into surgery, suffering from life threatening injuries. She is now recovering in stable condition. The investigation revealed the victim and suspect knew each other well. This was not a random attack.
This afternoon, deputies of the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office located the Mountaineer, conducted a traffic stop, and took Louis Williams Jones Jr into custody. He has been charged by Woodfin Police with attempted first-degree murder and larceny of a vehicle.
We would like to extend our thanks to our partner law enforcement agencies for their aid and assistance today. Weaverville Police Department responded with our officers to the initial call and helped gather critical information that led to identification of the suspect. Members of the Sheriff’s Office didn’t just apprehend the suspect, but were with our officers and detective throughout the day, providing investigative and crime scene support. We are fortunate to have such great working relationships with other law enforcement agencies in the area.
