SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - A man faces accusations he attacked a 69-year-old man in a church parking lot after a church function last week and left the victim with life-threatening injuries.
Springfield Police arrested Matthew Allen Kegley, 29, on Monday and booked him on one count of second degree assault.
Officers suspect Kegley in an attack December 5 at 4:30 p.m. at Trinity Baptist Church, 1162 B Street.

Police couldn't locate the suspect December 5, but multiple witnesses saw the attack. Investigators said "information was developed" that led detectives to focus on Kegley.
@UsaidWhat---that's a very unintelligent statement. It's comforting to know there are lynch mob types like you out there that troll the news boards at the ready with a quick negative comment just because someone "doesn't look right", in your eyes.
Oh, he very scarily makes me think of James Holmes, the Colorado shooter!
