Anthony Aguilera, the 20-year-old Gilroy man arrested following a stabbing and at Murray Avenue and Chestnut Street last month, will be arraigned on attempted murder and felony evading charges on Feb. 22.
He is suspected of stabbing San Martin resident Scott Barger, 24, in a Morgan Hill hotel Jan. 29 during a medical marijuana buy, and later that night fleeing from Gilroy and Morgan Hill police and hiding in an East Gilroy apartment. Barger has since been released from Kaiser Santa Teresa.
After his Feb. 22 arraignment, Aguilera will be facing four felony and two misdemeanor charges.
Since his arrest, Aguilera has been held without bail in county jail on an attempted murder charge from one of three unrelated Gilroy cases, which include two stabbings and a shooting. He was arraigned on Feb. 2 on the attempted murder charge, two felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon, willfully or maliciously discharging a firearm, and public possession of alcohol by a minor. The DA is reviewing Morgan Hill Police Department’s case to determine who should be charged in the incedent.
