YCSO is asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect in an attempted homicide case in Cordes Lakes. Public Affair Supervisor Kristin Greene says 33-year old James Patton is believed to have stabbed 45-year old Kenneth Wallace, after an argument about money. YCSO received a call from the victim’s daughter at approximately 4 am Monday saying her father had been stabbed in the neck. Personnel responded and found the victim unresponsive. Deputies conducted life saving measures until Wallace could be airlifted to a Hospital in Deer Valley, which hospital staff confirmed prevented the stab wound from becoming fatal. The victim remains in the hospital in an induced coma. Greene says Yavapai Silent Witness is offering a $2,000-reward for information leading to his arrest. It is believed Patton may be traveling with his girlfriend 22-year old Tammy Tambe.
