SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man will serve six months in jail after violating probation for two 2013 disorderly conduct offenses when he got involved in a stabbing incident last June. Judge Angela Sutkiewicz sentenced 40 year old Angelo Merritt last week for the three incidents.
The June incident is the most egregious, with charges of injury by negligent use of a weapon, plus fleeing.
According to the criminal complaint, Sheboygan Police were called to investigate a stabbing on the city’s south side June 10th. The victim said he was checking his vehicle for a possible problem when a van stopped nearby, and Merritt reportedly got out and stabbed him. The stabbing forced the victim to lost twenty centimeters of small intestines during a surgery.
Once Merrill was found, he claimed he was the one who was attacked with a knife by the victim.
The incident occurred when Merritt was serving one year probation for two disorderly conduct offenses from 2013.
