Officers said they responded to the 1600 block of Laurel Circle at around 1:20 pm in reference to a possible stabbing incident. When they arrived, they found an injured 27-year-old man suffering from a single stab wound.



Detectives learned that the stabbing followed an argument the victim had with his girlfriend -- Trevon Evans, 32 -- in the apartment the two share. When the victim refused to allow Evans to access his phone, she reportedly armed herself with a kitchen knife and stabbed the victim once in the left side of the chest.



The victim was then able to extricate himself and flee from the apartment. He was transported by Bartow Fire Rescue to Lakeland Regional Medical Center for treatment.



Detectives also learned of a prior altercation between Evans and the victim. On Jan. 21, Evans reportedly stabbed the victim several times with a small knife, resulting in minor injuries. The victim did not seek medical attention after this incident.



Evans, who is currently employed by the Polk County Sheriff's Office as a detention deputy, was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, domestic violence and theft.
