Mount Airy residents Russell Enriq Spivey and Joseph Vaughn Brannock, both age 17, were hospitalized with knife wounds Sunday as a result of a confrontation with two other people on Shoals Road. An employee answering the Wake Forest Baptist Health patient information line did not have any records Wednesday evening of patients with those names still being treated there. Sheriff Graham Atkinson said officers were called to Northern Hospital of Surry County shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday when Brannock and Spivey were admitted to the hospital with knife wounds. The sheriff's office is called whenever patients come in with gun shot or knife wounds. Brannock was sent to Wake Forest Baptist Health by Air- Care with a serious injury to his arm, according to Atkin- son. He said Spivey suffered knife wounds to his arm and chest and was sent to Baptist hospital by ground transport. The sheriff said Wednesday that no charges had been filed in the case, though officers are still investigating to determine what happened in the wounding incident and if any charges should be filed.
