ELLOREE, SC (WIS) - A household has been disturbed by the rage of a friend.

As Kim Dallas recalls, it only took a matter of seconds. Her husbands' friend - Allen Traxler - came over, made a sexual advance toward her and then she says he lost it. "Allen had looked at me and said, 'So when are you gonna let me play with your --- ? When are we going to get together? And I was like, 'What?'"

Dallas' husband didn't hear Traxler's comment about his wife's chest, but the couple's 21-year-old son Kennan did.

"He said, 'You don't talk to me mom like that.' So he said, 'You ain't got nothing to do with you,' and he shoved him. That's when my son shoved him back. Next thing you know they're stabbing. He pulled out a knife and started stabbing. My husband pulled him off my son. It was just a big brawl."

When it was over, Kim's son was stabbed four times and her husband - twice. Then, she stepped in, but says Traxler still wouldn't put away his pocketknife. "I got stabbed in the butt. Think he got me while trying to go around, don't think he was trying to do nothing to me."

After a few days on the run, Traxler is now in police custody. He's charged with two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill and a third high and aggravated assault charge.

Kim Dallas says she's shocked and upset. Her shock is heightened by the fact she thought Traxler was a good friend - the last person she'd expect to hurt her, or her family.
