District Court
Kandiyohi County
WILLMAR - The case against Humberto Acevedo Jr., a Willmar man who previously faced a charge of felony second-degree assault, was dismissed Friday.
Judge Donald Spilseth dismissed the charge during a court trial, according to court files.
Acevedo, 33, is alleged to have stabbed a man in June near the intersection of U.S. Highway 71 and Kandiyohi County Road 3. The man reportedly was left with a stab wound in his abdomen measuring about three-quarters of an inch.
Public defender Jay Liedman submitted a court file last week notifying the court that Acevedo would assert during his court trial that self-defense played a role in the incident.
“(Acevedo) asserts Perez attacked him with a rod and broke his hand before defendant was able to fend Perez off with a pocket knife,” the document states.
