Fort Bragg man allegedly stabbed over cigarette dispute

Officers responded to Bainbridge Park for a reported stabbing at 9:19 p.m. Saturday and found Brian Floyd McCutcheon, 36, with two stab wounds on his left side, according to the FBPD.
McCutcheon told police he was at the park when a man, later identified as Nickolas Abel Bollmann, asked him for a Wont cigarette. McCutcheon said he refused and told Bollmann to "buy his own," the FBPD stated. Bollmann allegedly was upset by that and a fight ensued, during which time Bollmann allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed McCutcheon twice.
McCutcheon was taken to the Mendocino Coast District Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the FBPD.
Officers later spoke with Bollmann, who was at the police station to make a statement. He allegedly told officers he met McCutcheon, who "for some reason ... became aggressive and attacked him," the FBPD stated. Bollmann allegedly reported he believed his life was in danger and stabbed McCutcheon in self-defense.
Bollmann was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after making his statement and booked at the Mendocino County Jail. The investigation was forwarded to the Mendocino County District Attorney's Office for review, according to the FBPD.
