DeGraff man arrested for stabbing his brother

A DeGraff man was arrested on a felony charge after he allegedly attacked his younger brother with a kitchen knife Saturday morning around 2:20.

Derrick Triplett (pictured), 21, of 210 North Koke Street, got into an argument with Scott Triplett, 16, of 215 North Koke Street, DeGraff.

The Logan County Sheriff's Office reports that Scott Triplett went to his older brother's home to do some laundry.

The argument ensued because Derrick was upset with how Scott was folding laundry.

Derrick Triplett contacted deputies after his brother reportedly knocked him out of his wheelchair.

Scott Triplett said he retaliated after his brother stabbed him in the arm and attempted to stab him in the chest.

Deputies saw a red mark on Scott's chest and a cut on his arm.

Derrick Triplett was charged with felonious assault and lodged in the Logan County Jail.

Scott Triplett was not transported to the hospital.
