FORT GRATIOT, Mich. (WWJ) -- A 33-year-old man is behind bars in St. Clair County, after it's alleged he tried to stab his stepfather to death.
According to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, a man and woman were wounded in the stabbing at around 7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 29, at a home on Parker Rd. in Fort Gratiot Township, north of Port Huron.
Officials said the suspect, identified as Brent Durrant, fled the scene, and warned that he may still be carrying the knife he allegedly used to stab the victims — his mother and stepfather.
The 56-year-old man suffered multiple stab wounds, and the 55-year-old woman had cuts to her hands, the sheriff's office said.
