ELYSBURG, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — One has been charged and another is injured after a stabbing at Knoebels campsite.
Court documents state that 32-year-old Jessica Marie Bertholf allegedly stabbed the victim during an argument between the two.
According to police, around 1:27 p.m., they were dispatched to Knoebels campsite for a reported stabbing.
