A man suspected in a stabbing incident early this (Thursday) morning in Grant, was arrested after fleeing the scene and being located by a k9 unit. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says 52-year old Derrick Geaton Zucco, of Grant, was found hiding in a brush pile after being tracked and located by the K9 team. Zucco was charged with Aggravated Domestic Assault and was being held without bond in the Montgomery County Jail. Additional charges are expected following completion of an investigation.

His arrest followed a call to authorities from 402 U Avenue in Grant at midnight, where a man had been stabbed multiple times. The caller told authorities the suspect fled on foot. The unidentified victim was transported by Griswold Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital for treatment. A report on his condition was not released.

Assisting in Zucco’s arrest was the Iowa State Patrol, Red Oak Police and Deputies with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.
