Police, coroner say intruder stabbed in Erie

ERIE, Pa. (AP) — Erie police and the county coroner are continuing to investigate the death of a man who was stabbed with an ornamental sword after he apparently broke into another man’s home.

Police have not charged nor released the name of the home owner who stabbed 24-year-old Delvon Crockett in the chest about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Erie police Chief Steve Franklin says the home owner returned from work to find Crockett there and stabbed Crockett with a sword that had been hanging on the wall.

Police had not filed any charges by early Thursday.

District Attorney Jack Daneri said the investigating was continuing.

Court records show Crockett has a history of gun and drug charges.
