A western Iowa man is in jail, facing charges for a stabbing during a bar fight in Carroll.
Police say 41-year-old John Michael Hanson allegedly stabbed the owner of Kerps Tavern in Carroll several times during a fight early Sunday morning. Benjamin Badding, the bar’s owner, was flown to a Des Moines hospital for treatment of multiple stab wounds.
Hanson was arrested and has been charged with willful injury, a class C felony that carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. A judge approved a motion this morning to increase Hanson’s bond to $250,000.
