17-year-old charged in Clark County stabbing

Sheriff's Office: Stabbing started after agreement about punch after drink

CLARK COUNTY, Wis. (WKBT) — A 17-year-old has been charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide after a stabbing in Clark County.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office received a call that someone was stabbed in the neck three times and they were taking them to the Neillsville Hospital on April 1 at about 1:15 a.m.

When deputies arrived at the residence, they found the suspect, Mathew D. Gebhardt and arrested him without incident. The Sheriff’s Office said the 27-year-old victim was stabbed with a pocket knife and is recovering in the hospital.

The Sheriff’s Office said the argument that led to the stabbing started when a female punched the suspect after an agreement where she could punch him in the face if she drank a shot of liquor with him.

On April 2, Gebhardt was charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide. He was given a $500,000 cash bond in court.
