A stabbing incident at a Wellington hotel has led to the arrest of a suspect, now facing multiple charges, including one for a bias-motivated crime. The altercation took place shortly before 5 p.m. on October 15 and involved two men in a dispute that escalated dramatically, according to the Larimer County Sheriff's Office.
Following the disturbance at a hotel situated on the 7800 block of 6th Street, the caller reported to the dispatcher that Dominic Alley, a Wellington resident born on January 16, 1995, inflicted stab wounds on the victim. Responding to the scene, deputies apprehended both parties, who had since separated. The victim, suffering from non-life-threatening lacerations, was quickly transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment. Witnesses at the scene conveyed to the deputies that during the dispute, racial slurs were hurled by the suspect, as per the Larimer County Sheriff's Office.
Alley is currently detained and faces charges including Second Degree Assault - Cause Injury with Deadly Weapon, a class 4 felony; Bias Motivated Crime with Bodily Injury, also a class 4 felony; and Felony Menacing, which is classified as a class 5 felony. The court has decreed a $75,000 cash/surety bond for the Wellington man.
