The victim reported Carruthers swung a knife at him. The victim then fled from the home chased by Carruthers. The victim went to the ground where Carruthers began hitting and kicking him.

Two neighbors in the area heard the disturbance and came out. They told Carruthers to stop, and that they were calling the police. Carruthers then told the neighbors,  a 53-year-old female and a 57-year-old female, he was going to shoot them, and the police. He then went back to his home.

As officers were on scene gathering information, Carruthers exited his homeand was taken into custody without issue.
