A woman who was said to be transporting a man to the hospital for a mental health emergency, was stabbed several times in the neck, arm, and chest this past Friday.

 

54-year-old Angela Worley, of Jacksboro, is said to have received a call from 40-year-old Cameron Jones, of LaFollette, asking her for a ride to Tennova Hospital for a mental health crisis. Worley made her way to Jones, whom she found walking on the side of the road. She stopped to give him a ride.

 

Jones is said to have forced the car into park during the ride to the hospital before beginning to stab Worley. She sustained multiple stab-wounds before managing to exit the vehicle.

 

A stranger, who was driving by at the moment, spotted Worley and took her to the Tennova Emergency Room. She was later transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. 

 

Jones was arrested shortly after the incident took place and was taken to the Knox County Jail. He has been charged with attempted criminal homicide.
