A Missouri man has been charged with stabbing his 12-year-old grandson in the arm after an argument over a doughnut.
Sixty-seven-year-old Jose Ortega was charged yesterday with first-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action. Bond is set at USD 50,000. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.
Ortega told police the boy was disrespectful and that he "snapped" early yesterday when the boy refused to give him a doughnut. The bleeding boy then ran to get help at a neighbor's house in the Kansas City suburb of Raytown. Hospital staff told police the blade went completely through the boy's forearm, creating a 10-centimeter long wound.
Court records say police found what appeared to be blood on a knife with a 25-centimeter blade outside the victim's home.
