| McDANIELS MAN ASSAULTED AT HOME 07/27/2010 A McDaniels area man was assaulted Tuesday morning, by two men who stopped at his home on Highway 259-South to inquire about a pickup truck in his front yard that was for sale. Breckinridge County Deputy Sheriff Virgil Phillips told WXBC news an argument broke out and the man was beaten, kicked, and stabbed with a small knife. The stab wounds were not life threatening. The two men sped off in a black Chevrolet Colorado truck that had shiny, custom wheels, tinted windows, and Jefferson County license tags. The truck went north on Highway 259 toward Harned. One man was described as a white male, about 6 feet 2 inches tall, wearing plaid shorts and a dark shirt. The other was a white male, about 5’ 10”, with dark hair. The assault victim told the deputy it all happened so fast he didn’t get a good description. The attack happened around 10:30AM. Deputy Phillips requests anyone who has any information about the incident, or thinks they’ve seen the black truck, to call the sheriff’s office or the crime-tip hot-line at 580-TIPS.
