Teen accused of stabbing father with arrow on Father’s Day in Sherborn held without bail

Prosecutors say a Sherburne man stabbed his father with an arrow on Father's Day. Boston 25 News reporter Bob Ward live at the courthouse in Framingham where Bob the suspect's claims he was acting in self-defense and has a complicated family history. This is a highly unusual case police alleging that a 19 year old got into a very heated argument with his father and then when things got physical they allege he twice stabbed his father with a hunting arrow. All of this taking place on Father's Day. Gavin Blaylock. At Navy District Court 19 year old Gavin Blaylock is accused of stabbing his father Jerry Clues with a hunting arrow on Father's Day in the basement of the family's Sherburne home. Blaylock is charged with assault to murder and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He was arraigned on the charges Monday and pleaded not guilty. At this hearing a prosecutor is seeking to have Blaylock held saying he's too dangerous to his own father to release. The prosecutor said until three weeks ago Blaylock was living with his mother and stepfather in New Hampshire but a fight with the stepfather sent him to Massachusetts where the prosecutor said Blaylock threatened his stepmother and three stepsisters. Ultimately what happened was him stabbing his father twice and so given the seriousness of those and the facts of this particular case and the injuries that the victim sustained and the fact that it required a bed fight and he is now remaining in the hospital at this time the commonwealth points to serious safety concerns relative to this individual's release. But Blaylock's attorney argued that Blaylock is not a danger that he suffers PTSD, anxiety and depression from a fight with his stepfather in New Hampshire and he said the facts of what happened on Father's Day in Massachusetts are not clear. There's a claim here of self-defense. He was attacked by the alleged victim. There's also a claim of accident that the victim charged the defendant and actually fell on the arrow. In the end the judge found that the son is a danger. He ordered him held without bail for 120 days. He's due back in court next month.
