Man pleads not guilty to felonious assault

WARREN

A not-guilty plea was entered Friday in Warren Municipal Court for Patrick L. Custer, 21, of Washington Street Northeast, to felonious assault, accused of stabbing another man at a home on Washington Street Northeast Thursday night. Bond was set at $10,000.

Police were called to the 200 block of Washington Street at 4:35 p.m. and found a 42-year-old male in an apartment with a stab wound to the chest and side. He said Custer was in the apartment next door.

Police found Custer there with blood dripping down his face. Custer said the other man had assaulted him.

Custer said he had a closed folding knife in his hand while the fight was taking place but it “came open while he was holding it and getting tossed around.”
