Shortly after 7 p.m. on Saturday, a 36-year-old man was leaving Coco’s Restaurant on Five Cities Drive in Pismo Beach when the suspect stabbed him inside his Ford truck. The victim reportedly drove the truck into a nearby light pole, then got out and collapsed.

The suspect took off in the truck. Police officers then arrived and found the victim lying on the sidewalk outside Starbucks.

Emergency personnel transported the critically injured man to a local hospital.

Around 11:30 p.m. on the night of the stabbing, Pismo Beach police located the vehicle with the suspect inside. Officers arrested the teen on charges of attempted murder and carjacking.

Pismo Beach Police Cmdr. Tom Portz said the suspect initially refused to cooperate with investigators and would not tell them his real name and age. Police initially said the suspect was booked in San Luis Obispo County Jail. He has since been booked into juvenile hall.

The victim is improving steadily, but he remains in the hospital with stab wounds to his upper body, Portz said.

My God.


First I hope the poor victim/survivor recovers, and second, I wonder if Moonbeam gives this poor miscreant HIS RIGHT TO VOTE from prison!


Hardcore sociopath who likely would have carried on until a serial killer. Caught early. I just hope the court is responsible and does not let him loose on society again.


Hey, he’s just a kid, cut him some slack, it’s not like he killed anyone. Forgive and forget…


shel, isn’t it a shame when the people you are agreeing with are too stupid to understand sarcasm (“sarc-what-jism”)?


Why would one think he is using sarcasm when the Democrats literally say the same thing.


I forgot to use my sarcasm font…
