CHICAGO — Billy Middleton, a 56-year-old man, is set to appear in court on Wednesday afternoon to face charges related to a stabbing incident that occurred on a busy River North street late last year. Middleton was arrested by a U.S. Marshals task force on Monday.
Details of the allegations will be presented during Middleton’s detention hearing. According to Chicago police, the incident unfolded when Middleton emerged from a white sedan and engaged two victims in an argument in the 400 block of North State around 10:15 p.m. on November 22.
