17-Year-Old Cheyenne Boy Charged as Adult in Bar Stabbing
A 17-year-old Cheyenne boy accused of stabbing and seriously wounding a man at a bar in south Cheyenne last week has been charged as an adult.
Joey Carabajal made his initial appearance in Laramie County Circuit Court Monday on a single count of attempted second-degree murder.
Police were called to the Lamp Lounge around 11 p.m. Thursday, May 5, after Carabajal reportedly initiated a verbal altercation with Vincent Phillips, followed him into the bar, stabbed him with a knife, and fled the scene.
