On Monday, just before 2:30 AM, LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were dispatched to Gallops Marathon at West US 20 and SR 39, in reference to a male subject who was bleeding. Upon the arrival of deputies, they were quickly able to determine the subject had been stabbed resulting in upper body injuries. The victim was later transported to an area hospital.
Members of the Criminal Investigations Division were immediately contacted and activated. The investigation quickly led patrol deputies to a residence located within nearby Woodberry Mobile Home Park. Shortly after arriving, the suspect, 37 year old Shannon N. King, was taken into custody. Probable cause was found for Aggravated Battery, Battery by means of a Deadly Weapon and Battery Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury.
King remains in the La Porte County Jail. She is being held on a $25,000 cash-only bond through Superior Court I. The investigation remains open and ongoing.
