Two Stabbed in Altercation at California Corn Maze
An argument inside the state's largest corn maze escalated into a stabbing incident, sending two individuals to the hospital and leading to an arrest.
A dispute inside Cool Patch Pumpkins in Dixon, California, on Friday night resulted in two people being stabbed and transported to the hospital. The incident occurred around 9:15 p.m. within the corn maze, which is advertised as California's largest.
The victims have been identified as a 19-year-old male from Dixon and a 20-year-old male from Vallejo. Authorities arrested a 28-year-old man from Sacramento in connection with the stabbings. The Solano County Sheriff’s Office stated the altercation stemmed from a disagreement that escalated significantly. A weapon was recovered at the scene, and the investigation is ongoing.
Despite the violence, Cool Patch Pumpkins remained open on Saturday. A spokesperson for the business emphasized their commitment to maintaining a safe, family-friendly environment. The establishment, founded in 2001, features a pumpkin patch and a corn maze that was recognized by Guinness World Records in 2007 and 2014 for its size, previously reaching 63 acres.
