A 61-year-old man was found stabbed to death Saturday night near Luck, Wis., the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

Stephen Dahlstrom, of Bogota, Colombia, was found about 9:45 p.m. in the garage at a Bone Lake Township home. He had severe blunt force trauma and "at least one fatal stab wound," Sheriff Timothy Moore said in a statement.

A 62-year-old man, the only person living at the home, was arrested and booked into the Polk County jail on suspicion of homicide, the Sheriff's Office said.

Dahlstrom, who used to live in the Edina area, and the man in custody were friends and knew each other for several years, according to Moore's statement.

An autopsy is planned for Monday in Anoka County. The Polk County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate.
