The driver told cops that Sanchez began to follow and threaten him. He said Sanchez then attacked him and he fought back using pepper spray.โ That did not stop Sanchez, the man told police, so he used a knife to defend himself, Lewis added. That driver was taken to a local hospital with a โsignificant injury to his face,โ Lewis reported. Sanchez was reportedly in stable condition by Saturday afternoon. He was arrested while in the hospital on Saturday, and on Sunday morning he was charged with three misdemeanors โ battery resulting in injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle.
