One charge remains in stabbing, robbery
All but one charge filed against a Uniontown man for allegedly stabbing and robbing another man during a dispute in 2006 were withdrawn Tuesday. Todd Jones, 40, was charged before Senior Magisterial District Judge Robert Breakiron earlier this year with aggravated assault, robbery, theft, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and harassment after turning himself in to Uniontown police Detective Donald M. Gmitter.
Jones had been wanted since June 5, 2006, when he allegedly stabbed Joel Lewis, also of Uniontown, at Lewis’s apartment on North Gallatin Avenue.
According to the criminal complaint filed by Officer Jennifer L. Field, the incident occurred just before 4 a.m. June 5, 2006, when officers found Lewis at his apartment suffering from two stab wounds.
Field said Lewis, who was outside but not wearing pants when police arrived, told police that he and Jones had gone into his apartment, where Lewis told him he was going to sleep.
At that point, Jones allegedly said, “Where’s it at?” and then pulled a knife and stabbed Lewis in the left arm and punched him in the face, Field said. Jones then allegedly tore off Lewis’ pants, which contained $140, Field said.
Lewis was stabbed a second time in the right leg during the scuffle, Field said. Jones then fled the scene.
All charges except a single count of harassment were withdrawn against Jones during a hearing Tuesday afternoon before Senior Magisterial District Judge Brenda Cavalcante.
