Suspects sought in southside stabbing

-

Police have charged three men with aggravated assault in connection with a stabbing incident at a southside apartment building earlier this week.

One man is in custody and warrants have been issued for the arrest of the other two.

Rueben Cody Smith, 35, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault. He is in custody and scheduled to appear in court Aug. 30.

Garrett Shane Williams, 35, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of breach of a recognizan­ce. Toby Joshua Kingsley Firstcharg­er, 33, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of assault with a weapon.

Warrants have been issued for the arrest of Williams and Firstcharg­er. Anyone with informatio­n on their whereabout­s is asked to contact police at 403-328-4444 or Crime Stoppers 1-800222-8477.

On Tuesday, just after 7:30 p.m., police responded to the 1400 block of Ashgrove Road South after receiving a 911 call reporting two men had been assaulted. Upon arrival police located two 20-yearold men with stab wounds.

The victims were transporte­d to Chinook Regional Hospital and one of the men was subsequent­ly transferre­d to Calgary. Both remain in hospital in serious but stable condition.

Police say the investigat­ion determined a group of people inside an apartment were involved in a dispute which escalated to a physical altercatio­n. The parties involved are known to each other.
