STABBING
A Fort Walton Beach teenager was charged Sunday with being a
“principle” to aggravated battery in connection with an early morning
stabbing. Investigators say 18-year old Christopher Tyler Bedsole of 512
Winthrop Street was involved in the incident but was not the person who actually
stabbed 19-year old Dante Quinn of Destin. Quinn suffered a cut to the throat
around 12:15 Sunday morning outside 411 Cobia Avenue on Okaloosa island. He was
taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
Investigators say Quinn and Bedsole got into a fight over money.
Deputies are currently looking for two other suspects in connection with
the stabbing.
Meantime, they have located Bedsole’s car and are executing a search
warrant on the vehicle.
