Milton man held on stabbing charges

One count of felony battery by strangulation anchors the charges against Travon Price, a 27-year-old Milton resident arrested in connection with a Nov. 1 stabbing. The Milton Police Department announced the arrest, which followed a violent altercation at a local residence.

Officers responded to the home on Nov. 1 after a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, they found a male victim suffering from multiple stab wounds. Authorities transported the victim to a nearby hospital under a trauma alert. The man is currently in stable condition and is expected to survive his injuries.

Investigators determined that Price entered the home of an acquaintance. An interaction between Price, the homeowner, and the homeowner's girlfriend escalated into an argument and then a physical fight. Police said Price attempted to strangle the homeowner and subsequently stabbed him in the back, elbow, and hand. He also battered the homeowner's girlfriend during the incident.

Price fled the residence after the fight. Officers conducted interviews to identify and locate him. He was initially taken into custody on an existing out-of-county warrant. While he remained in custody, Milton police investigators completed the necessary arrest warrants for the Nov. 1 incident. The warrants were served while Price was already incarcerated.

In addition to the strangulation count, Price faces one count of felony aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He also faces one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and one count of misdemeanor battery. Price is currently being held in jail without bond.
