Man charged in Cincinnati stabbing pleads not guilty

CINCINNATI — A Centerville man charged in a stabbing in Cincinnati last October has pleaded not guilty.

Nathan K. Menuis, 40, was charged with willful injury, a Class C felony, on Oct. 30 after the Appanoose County Sheriff’s Office responded to a stabbing in the 200 block of South LaSalle Street in Cincinnati.

Upon arrival officers found a 35-year-old man suffering from a severe laceration to his arm. The ensuing investigation revealed that the man had been in a physical altercation with Menuis, during which Menuis allegedly pulled a knife from his coat pocket and cut the man.

Menuis fled the area and was later found near the east edge of Cincinnati along Iowa Highway 5, where he voluntarily turned himself over to authorities.

Menuis is being held in Appanoose County Jail on $10,000 bond. His jury trial is scheduled for May 14.

The victim was treated at a Des Moines area hospital and released.

The Iowegian wants readers to think about the debate Rep. Larry Sheets talks about at the state capital centered on "accepting Medicaid expansion as defined by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or choosing to create an Iowa specific health care program. Those who prefer the Medicaid expansion believe the federal government will fulfill its commitments three years from now. Those opposing explain that the federal government is only capable of that by borrowing the money from the Chinese." So, the question this week is, "Should Iowa accept the federal government's Medicaid expansion or create a health care program specific to the state?"

A. Accept Medicaid expansion.
B. Create health care program.
