According to a sheriff, four people were stabbed in an Airbnb while on vacation in North Carolina.
deputies answered property in Marshall just after 3:20 a.m. on Jan. 9, Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood said in a Facebook post.
Four people had been stabbed and treated for multiple stab wounds, he wrote.
Six people were arrested after the stabbings.
Jay Caleb Bell was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon causing grievous bodily harm with intent to kill and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon causing grievous bodily harm, according to Harwood. Bell was also charged with criminal possession of psilocybin mushrooms, criminal possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana, according to the sheriff.
The other five people arrested were each charged with criminal possession of psilocybin mushrooms, criminal possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana.
Harwood said it was an “isolated incident,” according to his Facebook post.
All involved were vacationing in Madison County, western North Carolina, near the Tennessee border, according to Harwood’s post.
Marshall is about 150 miles northwest of Charlotte.
It’s unclear whether everyone involved was staying at the same Airbnb. Harwood did not respond to a request for additional information from McClatchy News.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations was also investigating, according to Harwood.
Airbnb said in a statement that its security team was investigating the incident and taking steps to remove the guest who booked the reservation from the platform. The company said it provides support for the host.
“We have also reached out to Sheriff Harwood to offer our support in the Madison County Sheriff’s Office investigation,” the statement said.
