Lexington County man charged with attempted murder after stabbing incident

A Swansea man was arrested Sunday by the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department after another man was stabbed.

Jacob Earl Harley, 37, was charged with attempted murder and possessing a weapon during a violent crime, according to arrest warrants. Lexington County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested Harley early Sunday morning after a man was stabbed at a Gator Road home.

The man who was stabbed is expected to recover from his injuries, according to detectives.

Harley is being held in the Lexington County Detention Center after a judge denied him bond Sunday morning.
