Man 'Stabbed Homeless Army Veteran 70 Times'
A 21-year-old is charged with attempted murder over an attack on a 71-year-old man.
8:01pm UK, Friday 05 July 2013

A man who had been out celebrating his 21st birthday allegedly stabbed a homeless Army veteran 70 times.

Dale "Bugsy" Wakefield has been charged with attempted murder and other counts after being arrested after the attack outside the Doylestown train station in Pennsylvania.

George Mohr, 71, remains in a critical condition after being found with dozens of stab wounds at 2.30am on Wednesday.

A motorist spotted the victim and called for help.

Police said it initially looked like he had been hit by a car, but once medics arrived they realised he had been stabbed.

goes to jail until HE'S 71 years old, and then some 21-year-old POS uses him for a pincushion.

"Wakefield had been incarcerated in the northwestern Pennsylvania county jail in lieu of 10 percent of $75,000 since his arrest in September on 12 (2012) charges including simple assault, terroristic threat, recklessly endangering another, and unauthorized use of a vehicle."

Earlier this year, he was temporarily sent to jail after pleading guilty to hitting and shooting his mom with a BB gun and holding a knife to her throat.

"Pennsylvania State Police at Fern Ridge arrested Wakefield after he attacked his mother because she refused to give him the keys to her car, according to a probable cause affidavit. Wakefield had a suspended driver’s license from an earlier DUI conviction, court records show.

Wakefield became “enraged,” and pulled his mother’s hair and threw her against a wall, according to court records. Next he took out a BB gun and pointed it at her face, then used it to strike her in the head, left chest area and arm, police said.

Wakefield then shot his mother in the right thigh, leaving a bruise, according to an affidavit."


Prediction: he'll be out again when they need more room for those involved with using or selling state-approved medical marijuana.
