Lyons man broke into neighbor’s apartment, tried stabbing them with a kitchen knife during attack

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a Lyons man following an investigation into a disturbance earlier this month.

Deputies arrested Steven Wilcox, 26, for burglary, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and menacing after forcing his way into a neighbors apartment and attacked them.

In the process, Wilcox is also accused of attempting to stab the victim with a kitchen knife, who fought off the attack.

The victim did sustain injuries in the incident though.

The charges will be answered at a later date.
