Teen Stabbed In Drug-related Home Invasion In Sioux Falls

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Police say a 17-year-old boy was stabbed at a Sioux Falls apartment that he entered during a drug-related home invasion.

Sgt. Michael Olson says police got a call about 4 a.m. Sunday that several masked people armed with handguns were breaking into the home. Olson says residents barricaded themselves in a bedroom, and some intruders fled when they were told police were called.

Olson says the residents left the bedroom and fought with two intruders who were still there. One intruder was stabbed multiple times and dragged outside, and police arrived shortly after. The boy’s injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Police say they found a large amount of drugs and cash inside the apartment. A 19-year-old man was arrested and police are looking for a woman.
