A 21-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly stabbed another man on the 1100 block of South Tower Avenue in Centralia last night.
Police and aid were called just before 8 p.m. and told the suspect was running away and being chased by acquaintances of the victim from inside the victim’s home, according to Centralia police.
Police were told Arnulfo Alaniz had chased the victim around a car, the victim fell down and he began stabbing him, Officer John Panco said.
An arriving officer found the suspect running and he was taken into custody following a small scuffle, according to Panco.
Alaniz, 21, of Centralia, was booked into the Lewis County Jail for two counts of first-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault, Panco said.
Alaniz reportedly swiped at one of the people chasing him but missed, Panco said.
Panco said this morning there was a a dispute over something related to the past, but he didn’t yet know the details.
The victim, said by police to be 20 and by the fire department to be 25, was treated and taken to the hospital with lacerations on the back of his neck, his forearm and his wrist, according to responders.
Panco said a photo of the weapon found on the ground the next block over depicted what looked to be a butcher knife.

No he deserves a non rat infested house. The so called nerve damage will get him disability and with the extra money he can buy some balls and get some new toes. AND SINCE WHEN IS SELF DEFENSE WRONG. Says somebody schooled in Centralia… How many times has Junior saved their asses and put up with their childish bullshit. More like how can you repay loyalty with jumping someone and making up shit because u cant look yourself in the mirror without throwing up.
P.S:Google “Tweener”.
No he is not a saint but neither is alaniz… I mean come on look at his last name! Helloo! Tommy did not deserve that! He know is suffering from nerve damage and has to under go surgerys! So let’s not stick up for an attempted murder! Tommy and his family were nice enough to let alaniz live with them for a lot of his teenage years and he repays him with trying to kill him??
What Panco forgot to tell you was this kid that was stabbed jumped the other guy with a bunch of friends as he was on the way to a friends house. The kid that was stabbed has been a thorn in the side of this county for years and someone finally stood up for themselves against him. The guy that was stabbed is a self proclaimed gangster and thug. Tommy Delong is not a saint.
