A 36-year-old Manitowoc man who’s accused of stabbing his cousin last week, made his initial court appearance this week with his public defender.
Charges against Ryan A. King include Attempted First-Degree Homicide and Two Counts of False Imprisonment.
Officers were called to a residence on South 20th Street during the early morning hours of May 25th, where King’s aunt told them that he had stabbed her son, 36-year-old Nicholas Beaupre of Manitowoc.
Police were told by Beaupre that King, his cousin, began talking about Satan and began stabbing him.
King said that he was upset Beaupre had insulted him but denied stabbing him.
He was taken to the hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries.
King remains in the County Jail with a preliminary hearing set for June 6th.
