At approximately 2 p.m. Monday, police reported to the 1400 block of South 18th Street for a report of a stabbing, learning that the victim had received transport to Methodist Hospital, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Venturing to the medical facility, they heard the individual had earlier in the day been involved in a confrontation with a man whose car he tended to on Friday.
The supposed aggressor, whom he knew as “Keem,” demanded a refund after stating his dissatisfaction with the work, prompting an argument, during which the customer allegedly punched the complainant and bit his shoulder. The victim went home to address his injuries and was on his front porch when the patron reportedly returned. The complainant said the individual threw a chair at him, pulled him to the sidewalk, punched him and stabbed him multiple times in the torso, left hand, back and neck.
At 6:10 p.m. that night, authorities arrested Wayne “Keem” Drumgo, also known as Wayne Reid, on the 1500 block of South Bouvier Street. They charged the 51-year-old resident of the 2100 block of Tasker Street with possession of an instrument of crime, simple and aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, making terroristic threats and Controlled Substances Act violations.
He had not posted his $25,000 bail of press time and awaits a May 19 preliminary hearing.
