A Cotton Valley youth is being held in a state juvenile facility after he allegedly stabbed his father during a domestic dispute Monday.

Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker said the victim, who reportedly suffered multiple stab wounds, was airlifted to a Shreveport hospital where he is currently in stable condition.

Parker said deputies responded to a 911 call reporting the incident shortly before 1 p.m. EMS personnel were on scene providing treatment when deputies arrived. The suspect reportedly was detained without incident.

Major Bobby Igo III, head of the WPSO Criminal Investigation Division, said an investigation into the incident is continuing.
