A Kirkville man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing his mother in the town of Sullivan last week.

Deputies say 33-year-old Brian Teachout led them on a brief chase before he was arrested.

Teachout is also facing first-degree assault and weapon possession charges.

Deputies were called to a home on Taylor Road Friday morning, where they found the mother suffering from stab wounds to her neck and chest. She was treated for her injuries and released.

Teachout is being held at the Madison County Jail on $150,000 cash bail.
