EASTON — Officers from the Easton Police Department arrested a 37-year-old Easton man Monday in connection to a stabbing over the weekend.
On Sunday, several EPD officers responded to the University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Easton for a reported stabbing. Police identified the victim as a 21-year-old Easton man.
Minimal information was obtained from the victim and the friend who drove him to the hospital, police said.
Through further investigation, officers learned that the victim was at a party when a fight broke out and he was stabbed.
After arriving at the hospital in Easton, the victim was transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
Jose Tovar-Tovar, 37, of Easton, was identified as the person who allegedly stabbed the victim.
Police arrested Tovar-Tovar on Monday and transported him to the Talbot County Detention Center, where a district court commissioner ordered him held without bond.
Online court records showed that a district court judge set his bail at $10,000 during a hearing Tuesday, but did not indicate that he had been released yet.
Tovar-Tovar is charged with felony first-degree assault and reckless endangerment.
A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for Sept. 6 in the Talbot County District Court.
