Roommate settles dispute with antler stabbing

Two Anchorage roommates argued over property and one chose to settle it with antlers. Anchorage Police received a call late Thursday afternoon after shots were heard in the 2400 block of Douglas Street in west Anchorage.

Once police arrived at the scene, they found a person who had been stabbed with antlers.



"As their argument escalated, one of the men picked up a set of antlers off the wall and struck, gored the other man with the antlers," said Lt. Dave Parker of the Anchorage Police Department. Police arrested 29-year-old Jesse Harris on charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon.

Police are not releasing the victim's name and are classifying the dispute as domestic violence. Harris' roommate will need stitches for the stab wounds.
