RE: UPDATE: Local Landowner Stabbed By Poacher
I just read that too... Here's a story with it. Great News!!!
Arrest in Clay County stabbing case
An arrest has been made in the Clay County stabbing that occurred earlier this week. 49-year-old Gene Bitler of Council Grove was taken into custody Wednesday evening. Bitler is charged with one count of attempted first degree murder, as well as charges of criminal deprivation of property, fleeing and eluding a police officer, contributing to a child's misconduct, criminal hunting, and several other fish and game violations. Bitler's bond has been set at 750-thousand dollars. The charges stem from the Sunday evening stabbing of Clay County farmer Marvin Macy, who attempted to speak with deer poachers on his property. Macy is listed in fair condition at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. However authorities say it took several hours of surgery to rebuild his face and abdomen following the stabbing. Clay County Sheriff Chuck Dunn and County Attorney Rick James say two other individuals are being questioned concerning the crime and more arrests are expected. Dunn says Bitler's arrest was the result of several days of intensive police work, aided by Clay County residents who came forward with important details about the crime. Natural Resources Officers and KBI agents also assisted in the investigation.
