RIMROCK, Ariz. (AP) - Yavapai County authorities have arrested a suspect in last week’s stabbing of a man at a Rimrock bar.
They say 30-year-old Jonathan Perez-Vidal is being held on a $50,000 bond on suspicion of two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was arrested at his home in Rimrock.
Sheriff’s officials say Perez-Vidal told investigators he got upset when he saw the man speaking with his wife last Thursday.
The 38-year old victim was bleeding from the chest and one of his knees when police arrived about 1:45 a.m. Friday at the McGuireville Tavern in Rimrock.
The man was airlifted to a Flagstaff hospital for treatment and was released Sunday.
Sheriff’s officials haven’t disclosed the man’s name, but he told authorities that he didn’t know Perez-Vidal or his wife.
