'A verbal argument should never escalate to this level of violence,' Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said. 

'This suspect's behavior is not only deplorable but will never be tolerated in our community. The suspect, in this case, is currently behind bars while we wait in anticipation for justice to be served.'

Hargrove was charged with first-degree attempted murder and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm.

He is currently being held without bond in the Hillsborough County Orient Road Jail.
