APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – A northeast Wisconsin man is accused of stabbing his father in the face, and setting fire to the home they shared.
22-year-old Andrew Johnson of Oneida is being held under a quarter-million dollar bond on five felony charges that include attempted homicide, reckless endangerment, aggravated battery, and arson.
According to prosecutors, Johnson stabbed his father outside the home on March 21st, and then set fire to the structure. Authorities said an argument led to the stabbing.
After that, officials said Johnson’s father and uncle went into the house, called 911, and locked the doors — and the defendant then grabbed a gas container and threw it at the house to get it to start burning.
According to online court records, a request for a mental competency exam is pending for Johnson. No new court dates have been set.
