Dallas Griggs, 24, remains in the Montgomery County Jail Monday after the incident early Saturday morning, a Miamisburg police spokesperson said in a media release Monday. Griggs has been formally charged with two counts of felonious assault stemming from the incident that happened around 5:40 a.m. Saturday in the 300 block of Maple Avenue.

Officers were first notified about a 911 call where the caller reported a person had pulled a gun on them and they were running towards the Miamisburg police station, in the area of North First and North Second streets.

Medics were called after police found the caller outside the police station suffering from a stab wound and other injuries.
