A resident of a state-regulated group home was taken to Wake Medical Center on Saturday afternoon after he was stabbed repeatedly with a screwdriver by another resident of the home, Holly Springs police said.

The victim, who is 48, was listed in stable condition Saturday with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.

The suspect, Gregory Henry McClain, 22, of 229 Apple Drupe Way, was charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. He was placed in Wake County jail under $1.5 million bond.

The stabbing was reported about 2:30 p.m. at 229 Apple Drupe Way, a single-family house in the Windcrest subdivision. Officers arrived within three minutes.

Holly Springs police have handled 17 calls for service involving 229 Apple Drupe Way since the group home opened there in December 2009. The calls included 911 hang-ups, missing person reports and suspicious activity, Police Capt. Mike Bornes said. Saturday’s incident apparently was the first involving an assault, officers said.

Police said the group home has state authority to house up to six residents. The home is regulated and falls under the jurisdiction of the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, Bornes said.

The house is owned by Obinna Achumba of 6004 Ricker Road in Raleigh.

The Police Department has filed multiple complaints with the state Department of Health and Human Services contending inadequate supervision and management at the group home, police said.

Police Chief John Herring said Town Attorney John Schifano has been working with the department to gather information to support a court order to close the home. Herring said court papers could be filed as early as Monday.

Bornes said the Police Department has been concerned about the situation at the home. Even before Saturday, Bornes said, officers had been instructed to document all incidents involving the home.
