An Orlando man was charged with attempted second-degree murder after witnesses saw him stab another man on an ATV trail at Mud Muckers early Sunday morning.
A witness told Sheriff’s deputies she was on the trail with Todd Lee Richmond and Brad Lee Taylor at around 2 a.m. when the two men began arguing. As the confrontation escalated, the men began pushing each other until Taylor stepped back suddenly, saying Richmond had stabbed him.
Several other people were on the trail with the men at the time. Three other witnesses provided deputies with written statements. All of the witness accounts were consistent with one another.
After the alleged stabbing, Richmond fled into the wood lie on foot. Meanwhile, Taylor was airlifted by Air One as a trauma alert to Halifax Hospital. Taylor had a knife wound approximately one inch long on the left side of his upper abdomen, according to a charging affidavit.
Deputies searched the area, but were unable to find Richmond. However, they did find his vehicle in the camping area of the property and asked Mud Muckers staff to inform them if Richmond returned to his vehicle.
At about 5 a.m., Richmond returned. A deputy was dispatched to the scene and placed Richmond under arrest. Richmond refused to answer questions, the affidavit says. No weapons were found on him.
Taylor’s condition was stable early Sunday morning. Richmond remains in the Flagler County Inmate Facility on $100,000 bond.
