PARIS – A man sentenced for a stabbing in Rumford in 2006 and knifed there himself in 2007 was sent to prison for nine months Thursday for violating his probation.

Tony Elwood Leonard, 38, of 169 Bartlett St. in Lewiston was sentenced to nine months and one day in prison by Justice Roland Cole in the Oxford County Superior Court.

Leonard pleaded no contest Sept. 5, 2006, to aggravated assault and was sentenced to serve 30 days of an 18-month sentence. According to a police affidavit, Leonard slashed his girlfriend’s brother in the head with a knife on June 3, 2006, during an argument in a Rumford apartment.

Leonard was ordered to serve an additional 30 days on Aug. 23, 2007, after being charged with assault and found to be in possession of cocaine in Lewiston. Additional motions to revoke probation were filed charging that Leonard failed to report to his probation officer, undergo substance abuse counseling, or notify his probation officer of a change of address.

On Jan. 31, Leonard was charged by the Lewiston Police Department with domestic assault and violation of conditions of release against his ex-girlfriend, the same woman at the 2006 stabbing.

On May 14 of last year, Leonard was stabbed in the neck while sleeping in a Rumford residence. Dwight Knox, 39, of Jay was sentenced to 14 days in jail after pleading no contest to aggravated assault, but later denied involvement in the incident.
