HOMOSASSA, Fla. (WFLA) — One person has been hospitalized, and another is behind bars following an early-morning stabbing in Homosassa, authorities said.

The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said two people are believed to have gotten into a fight sometime around 3 a.m. on Tuesday.

As the fight escalated, 25-year-old Jacob Earl Keefer, drew a knife on the victim in a wooded area near Fishbowl Drive and Halls River Road, investigators said.

The victim sustained multiple stab wounds and was taken to a medical facility in Ocala. Authorities said the person’s injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening, and they were listed in stable condition.

Detectives said Keefer is an acquaintance of the victim, but did not further describe their relationship. Enough evidence was gathered for detectives to issue a warrant for Keefer’s arrest, the sheriff’s office said.

He was found later Tuesday and arrested on one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill.

Officials said he was being held at the Citrus County Detention facility without bond.

“This swift arrest is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our deputies and detectives,” said Sheriff David Vincent. “Thanks to their efforts, we were able to quickly apprehend the suspect and ensure the safety of our community.”
