BLOUNT COUNTY, Ala. (WAFF) - A man from Lawrence County is being held in the Blount County jail without bond, after deputies say he attacked four people who were trying to break up a domestic violence incident last week.

According to the Blount County Sheriff’s Department, Dillard Compton Jr. was involved in a domestic incident with a woman at a motorcycle rally in Locust Fork Saturday. Four people stepped in to try to diffuse the situation. Deputies say Compton pulled a knife and slashed or stabbed the four people. He then sped off on his motorcycle.
