Stabbing Arrest in Buncombe County, Arden area, $750k bond

Buncombe County Sheriff’s Investigators have charged an Arden man in connection with a Monday morning incident where he stabbed his ex-girlfriend and her son in her south Buncombe apartment.

Investigators charged Kelvin Errol Smith, 43, of 313 Peacock Lane in Arden with 2 counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Kidnapping, Felony Breaking and Entering and Violation of a Domestic Violence Protective Order.

Investigators say Smith waited outside his ex-girlfriends apartment a little after 8:00 am on Glenn Bridge Road and forced her back into the apartment when she came out. Smith assaulted the victim with a knife, and also assaulted her 18 year old son who arrived at the residence a short time later. The victim’s son was able to defend his mother from any further attack, but was also cut during the struggle with Smith.

Deputies arrived a short time later and Smith and the two victims were taken hospital for evaluation and treatment. Smith was released today at which time he was taken into custody. Smith is currently being held at the Buncombe County Detention Facility under a $750,000 bond.
