One stabbed, another slashed in fight over glowing glasses
SCIO, Ore. -- An intoxicated man stabbed one man and cut another early Saturday morning after a dispute over a pair of glow-in-the-dark glasses at the Scio Music Festival, the Linn County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies responded to an unrelated noise disturbance on the festival grounds at around 2:45 a.m. Saturday. They arrived at the festival entrance to find a highly intoxicated man bleeding from facial injuries, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller said.
Witnesses reported Ulysses Garcia, a 23-year-old from Scio had stabbed one person with a knife and had cut another. Deputies immediately detained Garcia after confirming those reports.

The altercation started when Garcia and Jonathan Hollingsworth, 29 of Scio, got in a fight over a pair of novelty glow-in-the-dark glasses, police said.
After realizing he was stabbed Hollingsworth tried to run away. Garcia gave chase, but was subdued by a group of festival-goers who saw the incident, Linn County Sheriff's Officials said.
A member of that group, 29-year-old Kevin Ashe, received a superficial cut in his left leg during the struggle.
Medic teams from the Scio and Lebanon departments evaluated the three men and deemed the injuries non-life threatening.
Garcia was taken to the Albany General Hospital where he was treated for facial swelling and a suspected broken nose before he was lodged in the Linn County jail on disorderly conduct and assault charges.
The Scio Music Festival is a three-day outdoor music event with on-site camping. This marks the second annual event hosted by Scio-resident John Vogel. At the time of the incident an estimated 200 people were in attendance.

looks like , to me, he got what he deserved. When are one of these thugs going to run into someone with a carry/conseal permit, or enter a house where someone has a gun?
Just thinking. What would a little black dot say .357" in diameter would look like about one half of a inch above where his eye brows would meet? My first post under the new system so I might as well start it out with a bang.
I just checked the inmate roster for the Linn County Jail, and guess what? He wasn't anywhere to be found.
Just goes to show you the infantile mentality of low life scum sucking pond trash. Stabbing someone over a pair of 10 cent glasses or what ever they cost. I agree with Iam1woody, deport them legal or not, we don't need any of their kind in our State.
I think the 'subduers' stopped too soon...the rest of his body should look like his face...one more gang member doing his thing...as Fancy Jack says...Tatts says everything!
Tatts, says everything
deport him.I dont care if he is legal or not
