- Titusville man charged with attempted murder
- Police say Benjamin Wright stabbed woman who was staying at his house
- Woman hospitalized with life-threatening injuries
Benjamin Wright was arrested and charged with attempted murder and criminal conspiracy.
According to investigators, Wright stabbed the woman so badly she was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
"This is a quiet neighborhood," said Amy Matthews, spokeswoman with Titusville Police. "Nobody knew this was going to happen. Unfortunately he did stab the victim."
Jeffrey Vasseur lives a few houses away from the suspect and says most people in the neighborhood are friendly, but finding out that an attempted murder happened a few houses away is eye-opening.
"That's shocking it did happen in our neighborhood," Vasseur said.
Wright is expected to appear before a judge Sunday afternoon. He's currently being held without bond.
