CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — A 20-year-old Clarksburg man is facing charges of malicious wounding in connection with a Wednesday night stabbing.
John Richard Lewis, II, was identified as the suspect in the stabbing, which occurred around 11 p.m. Wednesday at a home on Locust Avenue in Clarksburg.
The victim, Kevin Miske, was transported to United Hospital Center for treatment of a stab wound to the lower back.
Authorities said Lucas was outside of his girlfriend’s home when Miske, and his brother, Preston Miske, began yelling at him. A fight then occurred between Lucas and Preston Miske before Kevin Miske joined his brother.
Lucas’s girlfriend attempted to stop the fight, and was struck while attempting to do so.
Lucas was taken into custody Thursday and was charged with one felony count of malicious wounding. His bail was set at $10,000 cash, property or surety.
