Man sentenced to state prison in stabbing incident at child's birthday party
An Evans City man was sentenced Thursday to state prison in two assault cases, including stabbing another person at a child's birthday party.
Austin D. Young, 22, was sentenced to 1 to 3 years in a state correctional facility by President Judge Thomas Doerr. He was also ordered to pay court costs and a $100 fine.
Young previously pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault and summary harassment in two cases on May 10.
Police said both men were attending a 5-year-old's birthday party, when Young stabbed Dillon Mayberry, of Butler, twice in the lower left leg after Mayberry confronted Young over money Young owed Mayberry, according to court documents.
Several others attending the party intervened and broke up the fight. Mayberry left and went to Butler Memorial Hospital.
Young was arrested after police were alerted to the stabbing.
He was also charged with misdemeanor simple assault and summary harassment after an incident at an apartment in the 800 block of Prospect Road, Forward Township, on Sept. 10.
Police said Young assaulted a man after that man assaulted Young's mother.
