A 42-year-old Freeland man is recovering after being stabbed in the leg during a robbery Jan. 1, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Detective Ed Wallace said the suspect, Kevin Brown, was known to the victim. Brown, 37, had been at the victim’s house that night with several other people, including his girlfriend.

At one point, the man went into his bedroom to look for shoes. Brown followed him in and struck him over the heard with a large glass lamp, knocking him down, according to Wallace.

Brown told the victim to give him “everything you got” and pulled out a large knife; the man threw his wallet at Brown, the sheriff’s office reported.

When Brown bent down to pick up the wallet, the resident kicked at him and Brown stabbed him in the leg. Brown and his girlfriend then fled, according to Wallace.

Deputies tracked the pair to a travel trailer parked beside a Delphi Street house. The girlfriend exited the trailer, but Brown refused repeated commands to come out.

A search warrant was obtained and members of the Island County Sheriff’s Office warrant service team entered the trailer and located Brown hiding under a pile of blankets between the mattress and the wall, the sheriff’s office reported in a press release.

The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Brown is being held in the Island County Jail on $50,000 bail.
