HUNTINGTON STABBING - The Cabell County Sheriff's office responded to Cabell Huntington Hospital on April 25 for a report that an 18-year-old man had been stabbed.
When police arrived at the hospital, they found the man had a stab wound to his chest, and he initially said he knew who stabbed him but was otherwise uncooperative.
Deputies determined the man was involved in a verbal altercation with another man at a residence in Barboursville earlier in the evening. The altercation turned physical and the other man produced a knife and stabbed the victim.
GRANVILLE ROBBERY - Three men were arrested and charged with robbery after a break-in at a Granville home in Monongalia County Monday.
Jake Ponceroff, 26, Patrick Lee, 18, and Robert Danser, 35, broke into a home in Granville.
The trio demanded money from the female home owner. Once they had the money, they began searching the home for more, said police.
They told the woman to call her boyfriend back to the home, and when he arrived, Lee and Ponceroff began fighting him. During the struggle, either Lee or Ponceroff told Danser to "pull the piece." Danser struggled with his waistband but was unable to produce a firearm.
The boyfriend fought Lee, Ponceroff and Danser off, and the men ran from the home, said police.
An officer then found the men trying to leave in a vehicle.
A Smith and Wesson 38 special handgun was found inside the vehicle.
