He was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a US court for his crimes. He was previously charged with reckless assault and harm to others.
The heinous attack on the victim, named Katie Peters, took place at a supermarket in Churchton, Maryland, in February 2020.
The victim told CBS Baltimore, reported Saturday (9/11/2021), that he felt Stemen hit him as he entered the shop and then felt something that tasted like a cigarette burning.
He didn’t realize what was happening at the time until he found a stab wound to his ass when he came home.
“I started driving home and it started to hurt a lot,” he said.
“I called my son and said, ‘Something’s not right, I hope nothing happens. I hope I make it home, I love you.'”
