CRIME, stabbing at teen party [FP]

Negale T. Jackson previously announced his candidacy for mayor of Forest Park.

Forest Park Review (Josh Adams) has the following headline: "Mayoral candidate linked to stabbing; Police witness says Negale Jackson’s underage drinking party turned violent".

There was a social gathering held in the garden apartment of a building on Marengo. The building is owned by Michael Perry. The first floor apartment is leased to someone who isn't Jackson, but is friends with him. The garden apartment is not up to code so it is officially not leased, but the landlord is aware that it is being used.

According to the police report, the stabbing victim was working security at the door of the party, for which a $2 admission was charged. The alleged offender was denied entry and pulled out the knife when he was told to leave, according to the department report.

The victim was treated at Loyola Hospital for a broken facial bone in addition to a puncture wound to the left nostril, according to police. Surgery was scheduled for later that afternoon to treat the victim's injuries, police said.
