The Muscatine Police Department (MPD) is investigating a stabbing incident that occurred Monday night, June 20, 2022, sending one individual to the hospital.
MPD officers responded at 10:40 p.m. Monday to the report of a stabbing victim laying in the yard at 808 East 8th St. When officers arrived on scene, they discovered Jeramy Hindlebaugh, 45, lying in the front yard with a stab wound to his leg.
