APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV)- Information about the night an Appleton man allegedly stabbed someone has been released.

61-year-old Michael Miller allegedly stabbed someone with an “edged weapon” on Sunday, December 19, near W. College Avenue.

Officers first responded to the area of N. Mason Street and W. College Avenue in Appleton for a weapons complaint on December 19th. Court documents describe the night Miller allegedly stabbed a man with what is described as a “lock blade” that flips outward.

Once on scene, Police encountered three people on the Southside of Storage Sense, one of which was a man who had blood around his mouth and down the front of his shirt. There was also a pool of blood on the ground near the man when he shouted to Police “he stabbed me in the neck.”

The stabbing victim says that “Mike Miller” and himself knew one another previously, and that they had gotten into an argument which led the man to grab Miller and attempt to put him on the ground. This led to Miller pulling out a knife and stabbing the victim in the neck.

An Appleton Police Sergeant then responded to the scene of the stabbing, where they encountered Miller. The Appleton man allegedly reached for a knife to show APD that he had one with him. A red substance was found on the man’s clothing and eye glasses that are consistent with blood.

Miller faces one charge, according to court documents, of Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide that if convicted could leave the Appleton man serving time up to 60 years.

No other information has been released at this time. Local Five will continue to update this story as new information becomes available.
