Blount County Sheriff James Lee Berrong said Mark Andrew Webb, 49, is being held on a $15,000 bond pending a hearing in Blount County General Sessions Court at 9 a.m. June 29.
Deputies were called to the home of Dustin James Cooper on Butler Mill Road around 9:30 am Sunday morning. Cooper was bleeding from a stab wound to the abdomen, and was transported to UT Medical Center by Lifestar for treatment. He is in stable condition.
