Morris was advised about eviction procedures, and officers were preparing to speak to other parties involved in the incent when an unidentified woman ran out of 701 N. Cedar St., shouting “He stabbed him, he stabbed him.”
Morris then came stumbling out of the doorway, and polce observed several stab wounds. Officers began emergency care on him until paramedics arrived.
Police arrested Wilshusen and charged him with one count of criminal attempt to commit homicide, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of simple assault and possession of an instrument of a crime.
