MUSKEGON, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - A 32-year-old man was arrested after police say he stabbed the president of a company he worked for Tuesday morning in West Michigan.

According to the Fruitport Police Department, officers were called to Anderson Express Inc. in Muskegon for a report of a stabbing. A preliminary investigation determined that at about 9:20 a.m., the employee, from Walker, Michigan, allegedly stabbed the company president in the side during a staff meeting. The employee ran from the building and fled in his car.

Police located and arrested him 15 minutes later. The company president was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery. He is listed in serious but stable condition.

Fruitport police say the motive for the stabbing is unknown, and other workers described the employee as "having a quiet demeanor," according to a news release.

“Well, I didn’t have a lot of passion for the job to be honest but figured I’d take a stab at it. Turns out I was not cut out for that career path and had to sever ties with them.”

Well, I'm glad the worker had a "quiet demeanor," because otherwise he would have murdered the company president, rather than just stabbed him in the ribs.
