When a man walked into the Donalsonville emergency room with a knife stuck out of his back, it was not a halloween gag. Edward Earl Chambers viciously plunged to the hilt a 6" knife into the back of 47 year old Joseph Curls. The stabbing occurred sometime between 2 and 3:30 am Tuesday night.

The knife was plunged between his shoulder blades and missed his spine by the width of the knife blade. One would think a knife thrust 6" into his back should mean death, but miraculously resulted in a minor injury for Joseph Curls. He was kept overnight for observation.
Sheriff's Deputies are continuing their search for the 51 year old Chambers, also known as Little Robert, that began very early Wednesday morning.
Sheriff's Major Wendell Cofer stated he was alerted to the attack by the Donalsonville Hospital at about 4 am. The original story was the attack was due to an argument over a woman. Major Cofer stated that story had proven to be untrue, but he was not able to release details.
The stabbing occurred inside the residence at 333 Josey Lane in Brinson.
On Wednesday morning, Sheriff's Investigators searched the home for evidence related to the stabbing.
During their search, Sheriff's Investigators discovered a meth lab.
