According to Phillips, the two met in person at the competition the night before the alleged attack.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips said the teen approached Detail\u2019s stall twice late that evening, despite not being housed in the same barn area. She recalled the teen asking questions that she felt were unusual given the time and circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>According to Phillips, surveillance footage later showed Detail running from the stall area while bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>She further alleged that when she returned, she found the teen near the horse and was given an explanation for the injuries that she did not believe.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips said veterinarians later examined Detail and determined the wounds were consistent with stab injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Police subsequently arrested the teenager, who now faces multiple felony charges related to animal cruelty and property damage.
