Late Friday evening in the midst of a heated dispute Joseph M. Addis, 16, of Jasper, GA was arrested after stabbing and killing his stepfather Christopher Allen, 36, with a samurai sword the family kept in the house as part of an antique collection.


Addis was originally placed in the Dalton Juvenile Detention Center where his name and photo were protected as he underwent psychiatric evaluations.
