North Charleston Stabbing

 

Police arrested a drunken Michael Carns, 27, for stabbing a 58 year old man, also presumably drunk. Carns was charged with Attempted Murder. He hasn’t had a bond hearing yet. Police reportedly had to let Carns ride the lightning at least twice. The first zap with the Taser failed to produce any results.

 

 

 

 

 

Carns has a general sessions history in Berkeley County.

Let’s see how quickly the state legislature moves to ban drinking and the carrying of small pocket knives. Maybe pocket knives should be required to have little cameras installed in order to be sold in South Carolina. Now there’s an idea!
