JEFFERSON COUNTY • A Hillsboro man faces a first degree assault charge after police say he stabbed a man several times at a De Soto-area gas station after he supposedly got in the way in front of the fountain soda machine.

The victim said Hornbeck took a fixed-blade kitchen knife with a black handle from his pocket and stabbed him repeatedly, according to court documents. The victim said he didn't know Hornbeck and that Hornbeck had become “enraged” after the victim supposedly walked in front of him at the soda machine. The victim suffered five puncture wounds, one of them on his head. Hornbeck was arrested a short distance from the gas station and a knife like the one the victim described was found in his vehicle, police said.
