| Man accused of stabbing in PB&J prank
VEEDERSBURG, Ind. - A foundry worker angered about someone putting motor oil on his peanut butter and jelly sandwich was stabbed by another employee he accused of the prank — the wrong man, it turned out, police said.
Jeremy Gordon, 22, of Veedersburg was stabbed twice in his lower leg, said Fountain County Sheriff Robert Bass. Gordon thought that the suspect in the stabbing, Bradley McManomy, 27, of Veedersburg, had put the oil on his sandwich, but it was someone else, police said.
"It wasn't even the right guy," Bass said.
Gordon confronted McManomy on Tuesday in a bathroom of the Fountain Foundry Corp., in Veedersburg, 30 miles southwest of Lafayette, Bass said.
McManomy used a knife with a 3- to 4-inch blade to stab Gordon, Bass said.
McManomy was arrested on suspicion of battery with a deadly weapon. He was being held at the Fountain County Jail on $15,000 bond.
Gordon was treated at St. Clare Medical Center in Crawfordsville and released.
Bass said charges might also be filed against Gordon for starting the fight.
"This is an example of how just a practical joke could turn bad," Bass said.
