A Georgetown man will serve two years in prison for second-degree assault and carrying a concealed deadly weapon related to a June 2017 stabbing in Rehoboth Beach.

Charles Rozanski, 26, was given an eight-year sentence for stabbing his girlfriend on Rehoboth Avenue. Delaware Department of Justice spokeswoman Julia Lawes said the sentence was suspended after two years and Rozanski will spend another two years on probation following his jail time.

Rehoboth police said Rozanski stabbed his girlfriend in the chest on the second block of Rehoboth Avenue, June 23, 2017. Police say the night of the stabbing, Rozanski and his girlfriend had an altercation. When two men tried to intervene, Rozanski tried to fight them and flashed a knife. An hour later, Rozanski and his girlfriend were involved in an argument, and Rozanski stabbed her in the chest, puncturing her lung, police said.
