According to the criminal complaint filed Tuesday, Brandon Brown is accused of using force or violence in stabbing 26-year-old Brandon Robertson of Markleeville.
The stabbing took place Friday night at a softball game.
Robertson was taken by Care Flight to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno where he was listed in good condition with wounds to the abdomen, chest and side.
