NASSAU- A teenager who stabbed his stepdad has been jailed for 18 months.
Samuel Higgs, 18, sent his stepdad to hospital after he stabbed him multiple times in the head and torso on July 21.
Higgs pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous harm at his arraignment.
According to Higgs, his stepdad is a cocaine addict and on the date of the incident was “freaking out” around him.
On the other hand, the prosecutor said that Higgs stabbed his stepdad during a dispute.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney told Higgs that the offense carried a potential maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment.
However, the magistrate did not impose the maximum penalty because of Higgs’ early guilty plea and his youth.
According to the prosecution, his victim was released from hospital.
