A Marshall man accused of stabbing another man on February 21 has been charged with two felonies.
A probable-cause statement says the victim of the incident reported to authorities that 27-year-old Novas Durley had stabbed him, which reportedly was backed up by the statement of a witness. The witness reportedly told authorities that Durley stabbed the victim in the doorway of a residence in the 400 block of East Gordon Street and then fled back to his house.
Authorities noted the victim had a single stab wound just below his left shoulder blade.
Online court documents say Durley has been charged with a Class A Felony for First-Degree Assault- Causing Serious Physical Injury and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action. Bond has been set at $250,000 cash only, with several special conditions.
Durley’s arraignment hearing is set for 9 a.m. on Wednesday, February 28, at Saline County Circuit Court.
