WINTON -- Three people were arrested Tuesday after a woman was stabbed Saturday.
Deputies Robert Hawkins and Paul Barile went to a Winton clinic after a report of a stabbing. The woman said she was stabbed Saturday but went to a friend's house to get stitched up, according to a sheriff's department news release.
"She went to the friend's house and went to the clinic in Winton yesterday (Tuesday) and said she was in a lot of pain. They said it was a stab wound and they called the sheriff's department," said Deputy Tom MacKenzie, sheriff's spokesman.
The woman, who was stabbed once in her back, had been involved in a drug deal gone wrong, according to the news release.
The investigation took them to the 7700 block of Walnut Avenue where they found Raul Moreno, 41, who had been deported for being in the country illegally, but re-entered and was living in Winton illegally. A search of the residence turned up small amounts of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, authorities said.
In a trailer on the property, they found Matthew Swanson, 31, and his girlfriend, Tamara Cowart, 28, who admitted to the stabbing, according to the sheriff's department. Authorities also found a four-inch folding knife used in the incident, syringes and methamphetamine in the trailer, according to the sheriff's department.
Moreno remains jailed without bail on deportation charges. Swanson was jailed for the search warrant, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, and maintaining a place where drugs are used, and remains jailed on $30,200 bail. Swanson had a felony warrant out for his arrest, according to the news release. Cowart remains jailed on $30,000 bail for assault with a deadly weapon.
