Polk County EMS took the victim to the hospital, where medical professionals were able to save their life after intensive care, according to police.
Detectives said they learned during their investigation that the victim got into an argument with Bibbs over $4 used to buy crack cocaine. The altercation turned physical when Bibbs hit the victim in the face, according to LWPD.
Officials said as the victim tried to defend themselves, Bibbs is accused of pulling out a knife and cutting the victim's throat and stabbing them in the side.
Detectives said they arrested Bibbs on a second-degree attempted murder charge alongside the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at a Lake Wales home.
