Kaplan man arrested after another stabbed

According to Vermilion Parish Sheriff Eddie Langlinais, on Aug. 15, at approximately 7:09 p.m., the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call in reference to a stabbing that took place on South Herpin Street, Kaplan.
 Upon the arrival of Patrol Deputies, a male victim was found to have been stabbed in the upper chest and bleeding profusely. The male victim was immediately transported by Acadian Ambulance to Ochsner Lafayette General Hospital for treatment where he was later reported to be in stable condition. 
 Upon arrival of Detectives, the investigation revealed that the victim was involved in a verbal argument with Hunter Macade Harrington, 26, of Kaplan, when the victim was stabbed in the upper torso by Hunter Harrington. Before Patrol Deputies arrived at the scene, the suspect fled the area and was unable to be located.
 Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Hunter Harrington for the charge of Attempted Second Degree Murder.  As the investigation proceeded, Detectives learned the likely whereabouts of Hunter Harrington to be at a residence located on East 3rd Street, Kaplan and a search warrant was then obtained for that residence.  Before the search warrant could be executed, Hunter Harrington was observed departing the residence in a vehicle and a traffic stop was then initiated. Hunter Harrington was then taken into custody without incident. 
 With the assistance of the Vermilion Parish SWAT Team and Kaplan Police Department the residence on East 3rd Street was cleared and searched for evidence used during the commission of the crime.
 Hunter Harrington has since been booked into the Vermilion Parish Correctional Center on the charge of Attempted 2nd Degree Murder, with a bond set at $100,000.
Sheriff Eddie Langlinais would like to commend the Kaplan Police Department and the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office’s Deputies, Detectives, and SWAT Team for their combined efforts in bringing this case to a swift and safe conclusion.
