Indiana State Fair stabbing arrest updated

A 37-year-old man, Steven T. Mimms, was arrested after a Saturday night stabbing at the Indiana State Fairgrounds involving two food-vendor employees, with the victim a 20-year-old man who sustained serious injuries and was taken to a hospital. Reports vary on the weapon, describing it as a knife or sharp object, and one account mentions a box cutter used at a Roasted Sweet Corn stand. Mimms fled the scene and was later tracked to a North Beville Avenue residence, where he was found hiding in an attic with assistance from the SWAT team. Investigators say he cut off his GPS ankle monitor during the getaway. He faces preliminary charges of attempted murder, resisting law enforcement, and escape from home detention, with formal charges to be determined by the Marion County prosecutor’s office. The incidents were corroborated by multiple outlets covering the same events at the fairgrounds.
