STABBING INVESTIGATION CORRECTION

     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.
