Wabash County Man Charged in Stabbing

The Wabash County prosecutor has formally charged a 19-year-old Speicherville man with felony aggravated battery, battery, residential entry and misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the stabbing of an 18-year-old Urbana man. Speicherville and Urbana are both small towns between Wabash and North Manchester. Wabash police say the suspect entered a Wabash apartment where the victim was visiting and attacked the victim with a knife. The victim received a life-threatening cut to his neck and walked to the Hardee's Restaurant for assistance. At last report, he was in serious condition in a Fort Wayne hospital. Court records indicate that the suspect was already facing a felony charge of intimidation with a weapon from January. This afternoon, a judge revoked the suspect's bail bond on that charge, so the suspect is now held in the Wabash County Jail without bond.
