Ogden man arrested in screwdriver attack
OGDEN — An Ogden man was arrested Sunday after a drunken brawl he was involved in escalated into an assault with a screwdriver, police said.
Officers were called to the 2400 block of Kiesel Avenue about 1:45 a.m. Sunday after a 29-year-old man, who was intoxicated, hit another drunken man while trying to start a fight, said Ogden Police Lt. Scott Sangberg. When police arrived, he also became violent with them, and at one point he produced a screwdriver.
"Basically what you had was a bunch of drunken fights … and (one man) decided to use a screwdriver in the assault," Sangberg said.
He stabbed one man near his ear with the screwdriver, causing a puncture wound 2 inches long and an inch thick, police said. The man who was stabbed was transported to a hospital, where he was treated and later released. The second man was booked into the Weber County Jail for investigation of aggravated assault.
