A Fulton man accused of stabbing a coworker Wednesday has been released on bond.

Larry Middlebrooks, 48, of 224 Standifer Walls Road, Fulton, was arrested by Fulton police officers on Wednesday, Nov. 18, after reportedly stabbing a coworker at Tri-State Lumber in Fulton. He was charged with aggravated assault.

Paramedics transported the victim, Michael Paul Morrow, 34, 1580 Standifer Walls Road, Fulton, to North Mississippi Medical Center, where he was treated for three stab wounds. He has since been released from the hospital.

Employees with Tri-State Lumber Company contacted police following the incident.
