Stabbing and Creepy Encounter: Will Quinones-Quiles, 29, was arrested in connection with a stabbing last month on Beatty Street behind the Hub Liquor Store. Quinones-Quiles rode up on a bike and stabbed the victim. The stabbing stemmed from a prior dispute earlier June 21 in which Quinones-Quiles said he was parked in front of Hub Liquor when a group approached and attacked him. A woman allegedly tased him in his rib cage. Later in the day, Quinones-Quiles stabbed someone who was allegedly involved in his assault. In a separate incident, he was charged with lewdness, burglary, harassment and child endangerment over something that happened this month on the 300 block of Market Street. A woman was at her apartment with her 2-year-old, when her neighbor Quinones-Quiles banged on her door and asked if her boyfriend was around. Then he walked into her home and asked if she needed work done on her apartment. He appeared to be drunk and told the woman he was having trouble buttoning his pants. QuinonesQuiles wasn’t wearing underwear and his genitals were exposed to the woman as she held her her daughter. QuinonesQuiles caressed the woman’s face and hair and tried to kiss her. The victim told him to leave.
