PAWNEE COUNTY—A Kansas man accused in a violent altercation in Larned made his first court appearance Wednesday.
Mateo Francisco Alonzo, 25, Larned, was charged with Attempted First Degree Murder and one count of Forgery, according to Pawnee County Attorney Doug McNett. The Murder charge contains an alternate charge of Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon.
The charges stem from an alleged stabbing at a residence in Larned, Kansas, during the earlier morning hours of August 6.
A private vehicle transported the victim to the Pawnee Valley Community Hospital for treatment, according to McNett.
The allegations were investigated by the Larned Police Department with the assistance of the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Department. Alonzo was arrested without incident at a separate residence approximately an hour after law enforcement received the initial dispatch call.
A Preliminary Hearing has been scheduled for August 19.
Alonzo is being held in Pawnee County on a $100,000 bond, according to McNett.
