Two people were injured, and one man was taken into custody following a disturbance in Hull on Monday. The Sioux County Communications received several 9-1-1 calls reporting a disturbance that occurred at the intersection of 5th Street and Division Street, in Hull Monday afternoon.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered three people had been involved in a disturbance, and two of those people had stab wounds.
Both victims were transported by the Hull Ambulance to Sioux Center Health for treatment of their injuries; deputies were able to apprehend one male subject and he is now in custody.
Deputies later reported heavy black smoke coming from a residence at 1429 Division Street, near the original incident. Fire Departments from Hull and Rock Valley responded to and extinguished a fire that appeared to have started in a bedroom of the home; it is suspected the fire may have been intentionally started before the disturbance by the suspect taken into custody.
The case remains under investigation and further information will be released at a later time. The sheriff’s office says that there is no danger to the public.
The sheriff’s office was assisted by the Orange City Police Department, Sioux Center Police Department, Iowa State Patrol, Hull Ambulance, Rock Valley Ambulance, Hull Fire Department and Rock Valley Fire Department.
