An Evansville man received a 30-year prison sentence today for attacking a man and a woman with a knife last year.

Kevin N. Eastwood, 25, was found guilty of Attempted Murder, a Level 1 felony, and Battery by Means of a Deadly Weapon, a Level 5 felony, on Aug. 9 following a two-day trial.

Prosecutors believe Eastwood attacked and stabbed a man with a knife during a burglary on July 1, 2015, in the 2000 block of Westbrook Boulevard. A second victim, a woman, also received an injury during the incident.

Vanderburgh Superior Court Judge Robert Tornatta sentenced Eastwood to 30 years for the attempted murder charge and three years for the battery charge. Both sentences are to be served concurrently or at the same time in the Indiana Department of Correction.
