The backstory:
Two 16-year-olds arranged to meet the suspect to buy marijuana and alcohol off him, however a fight broke out when the two realized the boy only brought the marijuana and did not have any alcohol to sell them, according to a Friday statement from the Kitsap County Sheriff.
The connection was reportedly arranged on the social networking app Snapchat and went down at a convenience store on Southeast Lund Avenue in Port Orchard.
During the altercation, deputies say the 15-year-old stabbed one of the 16-year-olds in the chest. The victim was then transported to an area hospital in Tacoma and expected to recover from his injuries.
