One man is in jail and another still in the hospital after a stabbing Monday in a boarded up Pasco home.

Aaron M. Scott, 41, is accused of stabbing Kelly J. Ragsdale, 34, several times during a fight inside a house on the 500 block of Sycamore Avenue. It’s unclear why they were fighting, said Pasco police.

When officers arrived, they found Ragsdale sitting on the sidewalk in front of house. Scott was inside with less severe wounds.

Ragsdale was listed Tuesday in satisfactory condition at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland.

Scott went to Lourdes Medical Center for treatment and is now in the Franklin County jail on investigation of first-degree assault.

Neither man was supposed to be in the home. Someone removed plywood that was covering the doors and windows.
