Evansville Police were called to 1116 Stanley Ave around 8:40 Wednesday night for a home invasion that had just happened. Officers arrived and spoke to the 71 year old homeowner.
He told officers that a man wearing a bandana over his face had entered his home through an unlocked door and demanded money. When the homeowner said he did not have any money, the suspect assaulted him with a stun gun. The homeowner was able to grab a nearby knife and began defending himself. The suspect fled the house, leaving a trail of blood.
As officers were following the blood trail, another call to 911 from a nearby address came in requesting an ambulance for a man who had been stabbed in the stomach. Officers went to 2419 N Fares and found 49 year old JAMES BIGGS. During the investigation, officers determined Biggs was the suspect from the home invasion. The stun gun believed to have been used on the homeowner was found in Biggs’ pocket.
Biggs was taken to a local hospital and underwent surgery for his injuries. At this time, he remains hospitalized.
He faces charges of Battery with a Deadly Weapon, Burglary While Armed with A Deadly Weapon, and Robbery While Armed with a Deadly Weapon.
