A Rainsville man is in jail on two charges of first degree domestic violence after authorities say he stabbed two people this weekend.

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office and Rainsville police responded to an incident Sunday on Dawson Avenue in the Shiloh community, according to Sheriff Nick Welden.

Welden said in a news release that as the initial deputy neared the residence, he encountered a man on foot, apparently fleeing from the location, and detained him.
