Three arrested in connection with weekend stabbing incident

The three men Cape Girardeau police say are responsible for leaving four people injured, one of them still hospitalized for a serious stab wound, at a party Saturday have been arrested.

Brandin Rowe, 20, of Jonesboro, Ark., has been charged with four counts of first-degree assault and armed criminal action. Police allege Rowe was in possession of a knife and stabbed one of the victims and injured the others.

Kollin Payne, 21, of Cape Girardeau was also charged in connection to the crime for unlawful use of a weapon, and Kemond Hollis, 23, of Ullin, Ill., was charged with hindering prosecution.

The three were stopped by police after fleeing the scene, according to Sgt. Jason Selzer, a spokesman for the Cape Girardeau Police Department. Rowe had a knife and had blood on his shirt, Selzer said.

Selzer said the three men arrived uninvited at a party in the 300 block of North Pacific Street. The men started a fight, he said, and injured the four victims with a knife. Three received minor injuries, and one was stabbed.

"We don't believe at this time that it's a life-threatening injury," Selzer said.
