Charges bound over for man stabbed in domestic incident
A Butler man, who was stabbed by his wife during a domestic incident and then refused to leave the police station, will be heading to court after the cases against him were bound over during a preliminary hearing Monday.
Aaron T. Moyers, 40, also found himself headed back to jail after his bond was revoked.
Moyers, who represented himself during the proceeding, will be facing formal arraignment in Butler County Court June 26.
He was initially charged after an incident police said occurred around 4 a.m. May 2 at an apartment in the 300 block of North Main Street.
Fatta said Moyers' wife reported that he “was on a drug binge for several days."
That binge led to Moyers becoming argumentative and smashing several items in the apartment before becoming physically violent, police said.
Fatta testified it was at this point that Moyers' wife grabbed a kitchen knife for self-defense. While the woman was holding the knife defensively, Moyers became irate and charged at her, running into the knife, he said.
Charges of misdemeanor simple assault, possession of drug paraphernalia, defiant trespass and summary public drunkenness against Moyers were bound over by District Judge William Fullerton following a preliminary hearing Monday morning.
Fullerton then revoked Moyers' previous $10,000 bond, which was posted Thursday, and set new bond at $25,000, after police said they will be filing another assault case against Moyers that involved his wife, in violation of the no contact provision of his previously established bond.
That case had yet to be filed as of press time Monday.
