STEVENS POINT — A 39-year-old local man will likely face charges of attempted homicide and burglary after Thursday morning’s stabbing incident.

On Thursday morning, at approximately 4:22 a.m., a man now identified as Jesse Lee Jaggar, forcibly entered an apartment on Second Street in search of a woman. While he did not find her, he was confronted by another woman in the residence, who in self-defense, inflicted stab wounds to Jaggar’s neck and arm.

Jaggar then fled the residence, where police found him calling for help on a nearby sidewalk. Jaggar was taken to a local medical facility for treatment, as well as the woman involved in the altercation.

Charges have been requested to the District Attorney by local police, and include attempted homicide, burglary, forcible entry with the intention of committing a felony, criminal damage to property, and battery.

More updates as we have them.

    Where is the attempted homicide? Was he planning to kill the woman he initially went to the apartment to see? Or are they getting him for attacking the occupant that stabbed him in self-defense?

      For attacking the woman, he tried to snap her neck.
