Man gets 3-6 years in chicken, fork assaults
JACKSON (AP) — An Ypsilanti man will spend at least three years in prison for attacking a woman with 10 pounds of frozen chicken after stabbing his mother with a fork.
Jackson County Circuit Judge John McBain on Thursday sentenced Frederick McKaney, 40, to three to six years.
McKaney pleaded guilty in October to felonious assault and domestic assault.
Prosecutors said McKaney stabbed his mother with a fork at her house and later exchanged words with another woman as he rode a stolen bicycle. They said McKaney hit her in the head with a plastic bag of frozen chicken, opening a wound that required five surgical staples to close.
Defense attorney Phillip Berkemeier said McKaney was provoked by the second woman, who used a racial slur. McKaney is black, and the victim is white.
I think they got him on a congealed weapon charge.
