On Saturday, a guy stabbed his wife’s cousin in the back with a long butcher knife while the man lay sleeping, reported The Decatur (Alabama) Daily.
It seems the stabbing was a result of a heated game of “Playstation football” in which Tennessee played against Auburn. Tenneesee was winning when Lance Eugene Borchert, 34, decided to end it all.
James Rodney Wilson, 34, of 11817 Leonard Circle, Tanner, apparently walked into the guy’s bedroom and slammed the knife through the guy’s back, puncturing a lung. He then ran from the house and hid in the woods. The knife was about 10 to 12 inches long.
“At first, the victim didn’t know he had been stabbed,” the sheriff said. “He thought he had been hit. I wouldn’t have bet a plugged nickel he would have lived. He went to the hospital with the knife still in his back.”
Wilson was in jail on Monday afternoon in lieu of $50,000 bond.
