Nephew Arrested For Stabbing Uncle

    Chico Police say a family feud escalated into a stabbing early Thursday morning.  Police were called to Enloe Hospital just after 4am where 44-year old Lance Watkins was receiving treatment after being stabbed four times in the chest. Watkins told police it was his nephew, 18-year old Jeremiah Hayes, who stabbed him.  Police took Hayes into custody and are still investigating a motive, but they believe the two got into an argument outside of the Columbus Avenue apartment before the assault.
