Sumter County Sheriff’s Office arrested 28-year-old Jonathan Kolb of 4837 Borden Road, Rembert, Friday night after responding to reports of a domestic dispute.

Kolb, who currently faces two counts of attempted murder, was taken into custody at the scene and is being held at Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center.

About 8:30 p.m. Friday, deputies received reports of a fight involving multiple people. Upon arrival, officers found two people wounded and experiencing significant blood loss, including a woman who suffered a severe cut to her right wrist and a man who suffered multiple lacerations to his left arm.

Officers treated the wounds until paramedics from Sumter County Emergency Medical Services arrived at the scene. The two victims were airlifted by helicopter to a Columbia hospital for treatment. Their conditions are unknown at the time of this release.

The incident remains under investigation, and more charges and/or arrests are possible.
