The trial of Cortez resident Abigail Nunn for allegedly stabbing a man in the stomach over the Fourth of July is set for April 24.
The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Medical Services were called July 4, 2022, to the 4000 block of 128th Street West in Cortez after a 911 call relating to a stabbing.
Abigail Nunn, 41, allegedly attacked a 57-year-old man during an argument, according to a probable cause affidavit from the MCSO.
The report said the man was stabbed in the abdomen while fleeing a home. Outside, while lying on some stairs, he had called 911.
The man was taken in serious condition to HCA Florida Blake Hospital in Bradenton.
Nunn was arrested and taken to the Manatee County jail, where she was booked on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
In Florida, the second-degree felony is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine upon conviction.
Nunn pleaded not guilty and, at her first appearance July 5, 2022, the court imposed a supervised release to stay at the home of her parents.
According to Manatee County records, Nunn was released July 6, 2022, from the jail after paying a $10,000 bond.
Nunn’s case is before Judge Fredrick P. Mercurio.
The trial is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, April 24, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
