Stabbing

A 23-year-old central Minnesota man has been charged in a stabbing that left the victim with life-threatening injuries. Christian  Denio, of Motley, is accused of stabbing a 53-year-old man with whom he shares a last name, though the criminal complaint does not specify their relationship. The Morrison County Sheriff’s Office says it received a report around 7:15 a.m. Sunday of a person who had been stabbed in a home off Cherry Lane in Scandia Valley Township, about 20 miles northwest of Little Falls. A deputy who was first to arrive to the scene found the victim laying on a bed as a family member applied pressure to several stab wounds, including to his chest and face, according to the complaint. Witnesses stated that the man was stabbed multiple times by Denio, who had fled from the home, but was eventually located and arrested at a nearby gas station. According to the complaint, Denio agreed to give a statement, saying he drank alcohol the night before and woke up angry about an allegation that the victim raped Denio’s mother many years ago, believing nothing was ever done about it. Denio said he then grabbed a knife and went to the victim’s bedroom, where he stabbed the man several times until other family members intervened. Denio faces first- and second-degree assault charges. He’s being held in the Morrison County Jail.

A man from Red Lake is jailed in Morrison County after a traffic stop uncovered methamphetamine in the vehicle. A sheriff's deputy made a traffic stop just after midnight on Saturday near the intersection of Highway 10 and 83rd Street north of Royalton. The officer saw what they believed were indicators of drug use and called in a drug-sniffing dog. A search of the vehicle turned up approximately 58 grams of methamphetamine in the car. The passenger, 48-year-old Thomas Sayers, was arrested on a felony drug warrant out of Beltrami County and on suspicion of drug possession. The driver, 31-year-old Augustine Wodrich of Minneapolis, was released at the scene.
