Details: 

On 12-02-24 at approximately 5:38pm, Officers from the Eagle Point Police Department were dispatched to a report of a menacing with a knife and a physical altercation in the 300 Blk of Lorraine Ave in Eagle Point.  Deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office also responded to assist with the incident.  As officers were responding, additional information was relayed by dispatch that the suspect was being detained by one of the residents and was reported to have brandished a knife.  As officers arrived on scene, they learned there had been a physical altercation between the suspect, later identified as Anthony Holzhauer, and the victim, Webster Jackson.  During the altercation, Holzhauer produced a knife and cut Jackson several times. 

Holzhauer was eventually pinned down by Jackson as neighbors began calling 911.  Officers arrived and detained Holzhauer without further incident.  Through the investigation, officers were able to determine the altercation was over a disagreement about money and Holzhauer initiated the fight.  Holzhauer used his knife to assault Jackson, resulting in several non-life-threatening cuts to the head, face and body. Jackson was later transported to the hospital where he was treated and released.  

Holzhauer was later transported and lodged at the Jackson County Jail on the listed charges.  The case will be referred for review and filing of charges to the District Attorney's Office.  There were no other victims in this case and no additional threat to the public.  Based on facts known about the incident, this was an isolated altercation between the two listed individuals.  No additional information available currently as the case is still under investigation.
