According to the police report, the victim told police his father used a broken glass vase to stab him in the left side of his abdomen while they were fighting. The victim was also cut on his shoulder and was treated at the Roy Schneider Regional Medical Center.

Because of the domestic violence charge, bail was denied for Dhu, and he was remanded to the Bureau of Corrections pending review by a judge or his advice of rights hearing.
