Fernandez was living at the home and stabbed the victim in the shoulder twice with a knife, which was recovered at the scene.
Deputies said the victim did not initially report the attack but then called 911 after getting worried Fernandez would come back and be more aggressive later in the day.
When deputies got to the house they could not find Fernandez, so they called in a K-9 team to search for him in the nearby woods.
They found Fernandez there and he was taken into custody on aggravated assault and battery charges under the Family Violence Act.
The sheriff’s office said Fernandez is being held without bond.
