Cleveland Police have provided additional information in a Wednesday stabbing incident during an altercation at a local motel.

According to a report filed by officer Julius Porter, Bobby Camp III, 22, suffered a stab wound to his leg after he reportedly attempted to defend his father after an argument broke out between the Camps and two other men.

Larry Cherry, 31, of Brownsville, Ky., was charged with aggravated assault and his alleged accomplice — who was not named in the report — was charged with simple assault, according to officials with Cleveland Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division.

According to his report, Porter learned Cherry and the other individual allegedly “disrespected” Bobby Camp Jr.’s daughter-in-law as they walked through the parking lot of the Georgetown Road motel.

Camp Jr. asked the men not to make comments toward her and an argument broke out which led to an assault on Camp Jr.

Camp III attempted to defend his father and was allegedly stabbed by Cherry, according to witness statements in the initial investigation.

Cherry and the other suspect reportedly went to their motel room where Porter located them and found evidence of the alleged assault.

Camp III was taken to SkyRidge Medical Center for treatment.

The front door was reportedly unlocked and firefighters gained entry easily.
