Man Stabbed, Drugs Believed to be Involved

Wilkes County Sheriff Deputies are working the scene of what appears to have been a drug deal gone sour. From what we've been able to learn so far, one man was stabbed by another along Germantown Road about 9:25 last night. The stabbing victim, a Hispanic male, was airlifted to Charlotte for treatment of his injuries, reported to be wounds to the head. Deputies have been at the scene much of the night, and are looking for a 6-foot tall black male wearing a bandanna seen leaving the area on foot a short time after the stabbing. We expect to have more information on this developing story later today.
