A Lincoln County grand jury has indicted a man on one count of criminal attempt to commit murder related to an incident in November.
David R. Baldrick, 45, of Waynesburg was indicted by a Lincoln County grand jury on Jan. 9, according to court records.
Baldrick was indicted on one count of criminal attempt to commit murder following an incident on Nov. 22 during which he allegedly attempted to murder his girlfriend.
He did so by “intentionally cutting her with a knife causing serious physical injury and with the intent to cause her death,” the indictment states.
Deputy Aaron Steele testified for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
Baldrick’s bail was set at $100,000 and he is to have no contact with the victim. He is currently lodged in the Casey County Detention Center.
