Naples, FL (April 28, 2019) - A man was arrested on Wednesday, April 25th in connection with a stabbing at a fast food restaurant in Naples. The incident took place in the drive-through at Culver's.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office responded to Naples Community Hospital on Monday in reference to a victim with stabbing injuries. The victim told police that he was at the drive-through when he was approached by 58-year-old Michael Charles O'Conner. O'Conner allegedly began yelling threats and expletives at the man.
O'Conner continued to yell at the man while cars proceeded through the drive-through and felt his car get hid from behind. As he stepped out of the vehicle, O'Conner rushed towards him with a knife and began stabbing him. Both men fought for about two minutes before the victim was able to get free. He suffered hand injuries and was taken to a hospital for surgery.
Deputies were able to locate O'Conner two days later sleeping on his boat at Naples Landings. Police arrested him in connection with the aggravated assault and seized two knives and t-shirts. He was taken to Naples Jail and placed in custody.
