CARTER COUNTY, TN (WJHL) – A man is dead after a stabbing with a sword Thursday evening in Carter County.

Deputies were called to a home located on Edgewater Road in the Valley Forge community around 7:00 p.m. and found Jeffery “Colt” Calloway lying on the floor in the entrance of his home with a stab wound in his chest.

Calloway’s wife reported to investigators two men, Jacob Buckles and Roger Morrison, came to the home to collect a debt resulting in an argument.

The victim’s wife says Buckles stabbed Calloway in the chest with a sword. She also told investigators Morrison drove Buckles away in a rust-colored Ford Maverick and were headed to Elizabethton.

Elizabethton police found a car, matching the description, in the driveway of a home on Fairview Street.

When officers approached the home, Buckles and Morrison came out and were arrested “without incident.”

Calloway was taken by the Carter County Rescue Squad to the Sycamore Shoals Hospital where he died.

Buckles and Morrison were taken to the Carter County Sheriff’s Office. Buckles faces charges of second-degree murder and Morrison was charged with accessory after the fact for murder.
