From Poltilove:
Deputies arrested 19-year-old Shevelle Bagley at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Carter said. Bagley was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. The incident began with an argument Saturday, and Bagley grabbed a pair of scissors, stabbing Hayes and causing a superficial wound to Hayes' head, Carter said. Hayes got the scissors away from Bagley. Then Bagley "grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the neck," Carter said.Hayes, a sixth-round pick in 2008, is expected to compete for the starting spot vacated by the recently released by Derrick Brooks. He recorded 13 tackles and blocked a punt, returning it for a touchdown, during his rookie season.
