GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A stabbing in Green Bay earlier this month was drug-related, prosecutors say.

Joseph Poore, 39, of Marinette, and Aaron Walton, 32, of Menominee, Michigan, are both charged with first-degree intentional homicide and armed robbery, both as accessory to the crime.

According to the criminal complaint, Robert Marshall was beaten and stabbed in a vehicle on Green Bay's east side. Poore and Walton then took off in the vehicle and left Marshall, who was found dead at the scene.

Walton admitted that the two planned to “take (expletive) money out of him” because Marshall owed Walton money. Walton told police he did not know Marshall was injured when he told him to leave the vehicle. When a detective asked why Poore did this, Walton responded that Poore was “crazy.”

The criminal complaint does not include a statement from Poore.

A knife believed to have been used in the stabbing was found near the Mason Street Bridge in Green Bay. Poore and Walton were arrested near Peshtigo.

Poore and Walton were expected in court Friday.
