An Ohio teenager who stabbed his stepfather in Summit Township was sentenced Tuesday.

Donald J. Zuppo, 19, of Youngstown pleaded no contest to aggravated assault and was ordered by Butler County Judge Timothy McCune to spend 9 to 18 months in the Butler County Prison followed by two years of probation.

As a condition to his sentence, Zuppo is to have no contact with the victim, Kevin Lee Walker.

According to court records, Zuppo allegedly cut Walker’s throat with a razor knife on the evening of Feb. 22. The incident happened at Walker’s home in the 300 block of Carbon Center Road, where Walker lives with his wife, who is Zuppo’s mother.

The alleged attack left Walker bleeding profusely from wounds to his neck and chest, police said. He was flown by medical helicopter to UPMC Presbyterian hospital in Pittsburgh for treatment and subsequently released.

According to court documents, Zuppo confessed to cutting Walker several times with a utility knife he carried for “street fighting.”

He said he pulled out the knife after Walker had struck him in the head.

The attack, documents said, followed an apparent domestic dispute between Walker and his wife, Kelly Walker. Three days later, Kelly Walker got a protective order that evicted her husband from the couple’s house.

Zuppo’s no contest plea means he is not acknowledging guilt. However, he is choosing not to fight the allegations at a trial. A no contest plea is given the same weight as a guilty plea for the purpose of sentencing.

Zuppo, who has been in prison since the day after the incident, already served his sentence while awaiting resolution of this case.

However, Assistant District Attorney Christine Studeny said in court that Zuppo will not be released because he has legal issues pending in an Ohio court and officials there are seeking extradition. She did not elaborate.

Zuppo’s lawyer, Stephen Misko, said he believed all of his client’s issues in Ohio already were resolved.
