One person is hospitalized after being stabbed with a salsa bottle, the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office announced.
Deputies responded to a Days Inn on I-75 and State Road 50 around 3 a.m. regarding a stabbing.
According to deputies, about nine people were involved, and three of them were involved in the altercation and stabbing.
Sheriff Al Neinhuis said a salsa bottle was broken and used in the stabbing that left one person with severe injuries to the neck.
The suspect in the stabbing is in custody.
“Of those nine individuals, we’re actually doing an investigation on all nine of them. We believe there’s a good possibility that some, if not all, of those individuals are actually here in the country illegally,” Sheriff Neinhuis said.
