Bladen County Sheriff’s Office was called to a residence on Porterville School Road in the Clarkton area for a domestic violence assault claim. Upon arrival Deputies found 29-year old Andrew Joel stabbed in the upper right arm.
Joel stated to law enforcement his girlfriend, 40-year-old, Shenika L. Matthews stabbed him in the arm with a pocket knife when he reached for his phone while they were arguing. Joel received medical attention for his wound and expected to make a full recovery.
