A man was stabbed just before One O’clock Monday morning off Lake Boulevard. Sheriff’s deputies and medical personnel were called to a home on Paradise Lane between Redding and Shasta Lake City by a woman who said her 58-year-old brother had been stabbed by 34-year-old Flynn Zachary Jones. The victim had several non-life-threatening stab wounds to his upper body and abdomen and he was transported to a hospital. Witnesses said Jones had left on foot. He was found along Lake Boulevard north of the crime scene, and he apparently had blood on his clothing. Deputies say he claimed the blood was from his own injuries suffered in a fall but he didn’t have any apparent cuts or scrapes. Jones was booked into jail for attempted murder. Witnesses could not provide any information about a motive.
