A man accused in a near-fatal stabbing was released from custody last week on $10,000 bond.
Filiberto Chacon, 38, was arrested Aug. 15 after prosecutors say he became enraged over the possible theft of his mobile phone. During the confrontation that ensued, Chacon allegedly grabbed a large kitchen knife and stabbed the victim multiple times. Despite being identified as a repetitive offender by prosecutors, Chacon was released from Mohave County Jail on Dec. 8.
When police arrived at the 2400 block of Palisades Drive on the night of the incident, Chacon was allegedly found with the weapon at his feet and blood on his shirt. According to investigators, Chacon allegedly made multiple statements as he was taken into custody.
