Oconeean arrested on attempted murder charge

An incident during the early morning hours last Friday at an apartment complex led the Westminster police to arrest a 30-year old Oconee County man on the charge of attempted murder. The police say the individual charged was Dennis James Duncan of Duncan Valley Road, Westminster. A police report says a 28-year old man, whose name was not released, was the victim of a stabbing outside Westminster East apartments. The police quote an emergency room doctor as saying the 28-year old stabbing victim suffered two lacerations, both of which could have possibly been fatal.
