Wal-Mart employee, Ray Canales, age 18, has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a teenage customer inside the store, according to KPRC. The altercation started at about 10:15pm Wednesday night at the Wal-Mart in Pearland, TX. More, inside….

The article says,

Investigators said a 16-year-old male customer got into an argument with the employee over a girl. The teen got upset and punched the employee, detectives said. The employee, 18-year-old Ray Canales, became enraged, pulled out a pocketknife and allegedly stabbed the customer five times about the upper back and face.

The victim was taken by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in serious but stable condition.

Canales was arrested and faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. If convicted, Canales could face two to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.

Hopefully, Wal-Mart enacts a “no-stabbing” policy for its employees.
