ST. LOUIS MAN HELD ON SUSPICION OF ATTEMPTED MURDER

St. Louis Man held on suspicion of attempted murder

A St. Louis man is accused of stabbing a woman several times in Mahaska County.  The Mahaska County Sheriff’s Office says it got a call around 11:30 Monday night (2/8) from a driver on Highway 163 in rural Mahaska County.  The driver reported finding a woman sitting in a car on the side of the highway and she appeared to have been stabbed several times.  Sheriff’s Deputies found 36-year-old Shauna Colleen Flynn of St. Louis inside the car suffering from multiple stab wounds to the head and upper torso.  Flynn is recovering at a Des Moines hospital.  As a result of the investigation, the suspect, 29-year-old Jonathan Jerome McAtee of St. Louis was found in an Ottumwa hotel room around 3am Tuesday (2/9).  He was arrested without incident and is due in Mahaska County Court later today on one count of attempt to commit murder. The early investigation indicates the stabbing is the result of a domestic dispute.
