A night of fall fun at a popular Solano County pumpkin patch turned violent Friday when two people were stabbed inside the corn maze at Cool Patch Pumpkins in Dixon. A suspect is now in custody, and investigators spent part of the night combing the maze to make sure no one else had been hurt.
According to the CBS Sacramento report, the stabbing happened Friday night at the Cool Patch Pumpkins corn maze, and one person was arrested afterward. The Solano County Sheriff's Office said the incident was reported around 9:15 p.m. at the pumpkin patch off Interstate 80, according to KCRA.
Both victims were taken to the hospital for treatment, per the sheriff's office, though the station notes their conditions were not immediately clear. A weapon was recovered at the scene, the sheriff's office said, and deputies remained posted at the patch as the investigation continued.
Deputies Combed the Maze for More Victims
Per the CBS Sacramento report, deputies searched the corn maze itself for any additional potential victims after the stabbing was reported. Investigators did not believe there were any additional victims beyond the two who were hospitalized, the outlet reported.
The ages and genders of both the victims and the suspect were not immediately available, and the circumstances that led to the stabbing remain unclear. A separate KCRA search-result snippet had described three people as injured in an altercation at the patch, a detail that conflicts with the sheriff's office account of two stabbing victims reported elsewhere in the same outlet's coverage.
What Comes Next in the Investigation
No further details on charges or the suspect's identity had been released as of Friday night. Solano County maintains public jail booking logs that include data on people arrested and booked within the past seven days, information the county says is released under the California Public Records Act, specifically Government Code 7923.610.
Cool Patch Pumpkins draws large crowds each fall for its sprawling corn maze and pumpkin patch just off the highway in Dixon, making it one of the region's go-to Halloween-season destinations. Friday's stabbing cut short what is typically a lively night out for families and groups visiting the farm during peak pumpkin season.
