GEARY COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Geary County are investigating a suspect in connection with alleged attempted murder and assault on law enforcement officers.
Police in Junction City arrested Daniel Genson, 22, Junction City, in connection with the stabbing of two people on Wednesday.
Just after 9:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of 938 East 4th Street in Junction City and found one male victim who had been stabbed and another female victim also was stabbed trying to break up the incident, according to Police Detective Lieutenant Jeff Childs.
The male victim was transported to Geary Community Hospital where he underwent surgery, while the female victim was not transported by ambulance but did later seek medical treatment elsewhere.
When officers arrived on the scene they located the suspect who still had the knife in his hand, wouldn’t follow directions, and had to be tased, forced to the ground, and taken into custody, according to Childs.
The Geary County Booking Photo report released Thursday morning indicates Genson was arrested on suspicion of two counts of Attempted Murder in the 1st Degree, seven counts of Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer, and two counts of Aggravated Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer.
Genson is expected to have a first appearance in Geary County District Court on Thursday.
