Man Stabbed Over A Playstation Game

December 21st, 2007 by Brian Lockhart in News, Offbeat, Online, PlayStation 3

We need just one more story to put you right into that holiday cheery mood. This one sounds a little bit more like it, not quite a stabbing over a Playstation at retail, but a stabbing over a Playstation game. The game in question was never mentioned, we only have to wonder how much it was even worth, certainly not enough to warrant a crime. Fortunately, everything seems to have settled, and is now up to conviction. The victim after surgery, no longer has life threatening injuries.

“Antonio Castillo, 37, is accused of stabbing his uncle, Luis Alberto Santana, around 6:40 p.m. Thursday at 1016 Jarvis Ave., said Chattanooga Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary. The alleged attack stemmed from an argument over the video game, Sgt. Weary said.

The suspect is being held at the Hamilton County Jail today, according to the sergeant.

Mr. Santana, who was listed in critical condition at Erlanger hospital Thursday night, suffered stab wounds to the head and abdomen, police said. Hospital officials have indicated that the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, Sgt. Weary said, adding that Mr. Santana has been treated surgically.”
