More details on the stabbing incident involving Charles Scaggs

POST Wrestling has received a more detailed report on the arrest of Charles Scaggs this past weekend in connection with a stabbing at a gas station in Kansas City.

Scaggs was taken into custody by Metro Patrol for a 24-hour investigation after being accused of stabbing a man at Love's Travel Shop where he works as a security guard in the early hours of Sunday June 15.

TMZ reported the incident and that Scaggs faces two criminal charges with a court appearance scheduled for July after posting bond last weekend.

POST Wrestling obtained the probable cause statement form from the Clay County, Missouri, prosecutor's office, which includes a description of the incident from Scaggs, the unnamed victim and an unnamed witness.

Officers were dispatched to the scene at 3:40 a.m. on June 15 and found the victim lying on the ground with a witness applying a cloth to the man's head as he began to lose consciousness.

The victim had several stab wounds to the head, chest, buttocks, back of the leg and abdomen. The two stab wounds to the chest were described as measuring “six to seven inches and the three to four inches” and were taken to Kansas City Hospital.

The victim said he entered the store to get money from the ATM and was confronted by Scaggs as he walked out about smoking inside. The victim said he pushed Scaggs away when he got too close and claimed Scaggs attacked the unarmed victim, who began to fight back.

Scaggs' view is that he was making his rounds and saw the victim inside smoking and gave a warning to the victim responding, “What the fuck are you going to do?” Scaggs alleges he asked the man to leave, placed his hand on the victim's back and was told, “Get your fucking hands off, don't touch me…I'll kill. I'm going to fucking break you. He says the victim threatened to knock out Scaggs, who warned him to back off and pushed the victim away, causing the victim to attempt to wrestle with Scaggs.

Scaggs said he reached for his brass knuckles but reached for the knife.

Scaggs said he pulled out his knife “in a defensive position” and warned the victim to “back off,” but he tried to tackle Scaggs and they began to fight. Scaggs noted that at one point the victim tackled him to the ground and that Scaggs “probably stabbed him multiple times as he punched and used the knife at the same time to get away from the victim.” , according to the report.

Scaggs said the managers came out and sent Scaggs inside to clean up and the altercations lasted about six to seven minutes. In the statement, it is described that the victim admitted that during both exchanges, she was the one who initiated the altercations.

Extract from the report:

VIC1 (victim #1) declared during both exchanges that VIC1 had initiated the altercations. SUS1 (suspect #1) stated that VIC1 told him: “I'm going to fuck you up, I'm thirty years younger than you (sic). I'm thirty, you're about sixty” before the incident.
