PORT ANGELES — A 43-year-old Port Angeles woman was arrested Thursday for investigation of a stabbing at Veterans Park, city police said.
Brandi S. Sweitzer was booked into the Clallam County jail for investigation of second-degree assault-domestic violence.
She allegedly stabbed Cameron Craig, 39, in the right hand near the park’s Liberty Bell at about noon, police said.
Craig suffered a “pretty significant laceration to his hand,” Deputy Police Chief Brian Smith said.
Craig was found bleeding at the Texaco gas station at the corner of First and Lincoln streets.
He was treated by Port Angeles Fire Department medics and transported to Olympic Medical Center, where he was treated and discharged.
“It appears to have been a domestic dispute,” Port Angeles Police Sgt. Jason Viada said.
Viada said he made contact with Sweitzer at the park shortly after the stabbing was reported by dispatchers.
Sweitzer was arrested a short time later after other officers established probable cause.
“I know Brandi and Cameron from frequent, recent law enforcement contacts, mostly in downtown Port Angeles,” Viada said.
“I heard the call, and I was just a couple of blocks away.”
The Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office will consider filing a formal charge.
Sweitzer was being held without bail Thursday.
She is expected to make an initial court appearance today.
