A 20-year-old College Station man is behind bars after police say he stabbed someone he lived with multiple times with a knife.

Police arrested John Lawrence Powers at a home on the 3200 block of Toni Ct. around 12:49 a.m. Tuesday.

According to College Station police, Powers and the victim lived in the home together and were with a group of friends Monday night. The witnesses say Powers and the victim were hitting acid before the stabbing happened.

The witnesses told police they began talking about hunting and that's when Powers went upstairs to retrieve a knife. When he returned that's when he stabbed the victim three times.

When police interviewed Powers they say it was evident he was high. He first told police that his friend slipped and cut his throat, then said he had killed his friend. According to the police report Powers then told police his friend "took a slippy slippy slip".

The victim is currently in stable condition at a local hospital.

Powers was taken for medical evaluation before being arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is being held on a $10,000 bond.
