Trial set July 14 in Lampe Park stabbing

A 20-year-old Dresslerville man is set for trial July 14 in connection with a stabbing at Lampe Park that left the victim with wounds to his abdomen, chest and under his arm.

Brandon Brown pleaded not guilty Tuesday to one count of battery with a deadly weapon causing substantial bodily harm.

He is accused of stabbing Brandon Robertson, 26, of Markleeville at Lampe Park on May 14.

Robertson testified at a preliminary hearing Friday in East Fork Justice Court that the men were arguing over allegations that Brown was involved with the victim's wife.

Robertson was taken by CareFlight to Renown Regional Medical Center and spent five days in the Reno hospital.

He testified Friday that since the knifing, he's had difficulty breathing, bending, running, and is in constant pain. He said he has limited movement of his left arm.

Brown has been in custody in Douglas County Jail on $10,500 bail.

The trial is to begin at 9 a.m. July 14 before District Judge Dave Gamble and is expected to last three days.

Brown is represented by attorney Kris Brown and Douglas County Chief Criminal Deputy District Attorney Tom Gregory is handling the prosecution.

If convicted, Brown faces 2-15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
