Stabbing Suspect With Horn Tattoos: Knifing People Is ‘Better Than Doing Meth’
A Seattle man is accused of stabbing two people and holding up a third at knife point in an unprovoked attack.
John Fecteau, 22, told an arresting officer that he hoped he severed one victim’s spine during the attack, according to charging papers filed by King County prosecutors. The suspect allegedly told police, “I’m going to stab one person every day,” according to charging papers. “It is better than doing meth.’
[su_center_ad]Fecteau, who is homeless, confronted a woman for sitting on a piece of cardboard that belonged to him, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Worley said.
A man who was with the woman began to stand and Fecteau stabbed him in the back of the neck and then stuck him a second time behind his ear, Worley said. Fecteau then allegedly stabbed the woman in the hand.
According to Seattlepi, police responded to the area the previous day after Fecteau threatened to stab people.
Both of the victims identified Fecteau as their attacker.
Police described him as having “very distinct facial tattoos.”
When police arrived on the scene, Fecteau was no longer in the area, but later officers received a report of a robbery involving a similar suspect.
Fecteau drew a folding knife and demanded the man empty his pockets, according to charging papers. The victim complied.
The man told police the suspect began stabbing at him with the knife and chased him for half a block before losing interest.
Fecteau was arrested five blocks from the crime scene.
“Did that kid die yet?” Fecteau reportedly told an arresting officer.
“I got them, the two under the bridge,” he continued. “I licked their fluids off the blade. That guy, I hope I severed his spine.”
Both victims suffered non-life threatening wounds, according to the paper.
Fecteau has a criminal history in Washington, Oregon and California. He’s been previously convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, as well as 15 less serious assault charges.
The suspect is now charged with two counts of second-degree assault and one count of first-degree robbery.
He is held on $245,000 bail. [su_csky_ad]

15 previous assault charges, and still not locked up? I’d want the guy committed just for putting tattoos on his face.

He’s still doing meth but added a hobby.

Where is the charge for great bodily harm? Attempted murder. If this guy was a 99%er he would have multiple felony charges.

Something tells me…
This nutcase knows what it’s like to stab people..
And do meth..
He can rationalize that one is better than the other…(in his seriously disturbed mind)

why was he out of jail to begin with. if he had been black and caught with pot, he would still be in prison. this is ridiculous.
