A 35-year-old Blanding, Utah, man was stabbed twice — once in the arm and once in the neck — last Friday while sitting in Montezuma Park, the Cortez Police Department reported.

Larry Woody, 39, of Teec Nos Pos, Ariz., was charged with first-degree assault after he allegedly stabbed Terry Hutchins with a knife on Sept. 1.

Cortez Chief of Police Roy Lane said the stabbing took place just after 3 p.m. Friday. Lane added that the two men had apparently been arguing approximately one week prior to the stabbing.

Lane said that he did not know what the two men had been arguing about.

"Mr. Hutchins was sitting at a table in the park and Mr. Woody approached him. Evidently they had had an altercation earlier in the week and a fight ensued and (Hutchins) was stabbed once on the neck and once on the arm," Lane said.

"I was just sitting at the table when the man jumped up and stabbed me twice," Hutchins told police at the scene.

However the victim told police that he did not wish to press charges — apparently because the two men share a Native American background, the report said.

Lane said that Hutchins was brought to Southwest Memorial Hospital where, according to hospital staff, he was treated in the emergency room and released.

Lane said that he did not think that the police department was able to recover the weapon.

The hospital spokesperson was not sure about the extent of Hutchins’ injuries. "I assume he needed stitches," she said. The police report described the cuts as superficial.

A Montezuma County Court clerk said that, as of Monday morning, Woody was still being held in Montezuma County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
