A Gainesville Wal-Mart employee was arrested late Friday after police say he slashed a teen's throat with a box cutter during an argument over a missing cell phone in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
Darius J. Stacy, 18, of 6136 NW 26th St., was retrieving carts from the parking lot on NW 13th Street at 8 p.m. when the 17-year-old girl, with whom he is acquainted, approached him about her missing cell phone, police reported.
The pair began to argue and pushed each other for about 30 seconds before Stacy reached into his back pocket and pulled the box cutter out, according to witnesses.
Witnesses said that Stacy then slashed the teen's throat, which left behind a 7-inch-long cut from below her left ear to about the center of her throat. The teen's larynx was injured and she underwent emergency surgery at Shands at the University of Florida, officers said. Her injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Officers said Stacy ran from the parking lot to a drainage ditch behind a nearby grocery store where he hid his orange work vest and the box cutter. His mother later brought him to the Gainesville Police Department, police said.
A manager at Wal-Mart declined to comment about Stacy's arrest Saturday.
Stacy was charged with attempted murder by police and was being held on $50,000 bond Saturday night at the Alachua County Jail.

Seems he was a thief also... and like to steal ... from women ...
I think the Walton family is going to make this young lady very wealthy. A store employee on store grounds willfully injures a customer. I see a 7 figure judgement or settlement coming up.
Oh my gosh. She could have bled to death. That's quite an over reaction to an argument. I hope they throw that punk so deep in jail that he never sees the light of day again.
Gee, I guess "sales associates" at Wally World just aren't what they used to be.
Only one unanswered question...did he have the cellphone?
Boxcutters don't kill people, people kill people. Rosie O'Donnell and Babawawa will be banning all boxcutters tomorrow on The Phew.
If Wal Mart had paid this young man a living wage and provided free health care, he wouldn't have felt compelled to strike out at a customer.
It's all Wal Mart's fault!!!
He just got confused after being told to "cut prices to the bone." He thought is was "cut bitches to the bone."
