A man was stabbed 23 times over a pig that disappeared two weeks ago from his home in Winfield, Missouri.
A spokesperson for the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says the victim
and his roommates were raising a pig, but their neighbor, identified as
22-year-old Joshua Alan Finke, wasn't happy about the situation.
Police say about two weeks ago the pig vanished, and the victim and his roommates suspected Finke was involved in the pig's disappearance. Police say the victim confronted Finke at his home. The verbal disagreement turned physical when police say Finke used a screwdriver to stab the victim once in the back of his head and 22 times in his back.
Finke is charged with first-degree assault and held at the Lincoln County Jail on a $100,000 cash-only bond. The weapon was not recovered at the scene, and the pig's whereabouts is still unknown. The victim was treated at a local hospital and released.
