22-year-old Bend resident Austin Cronin is recovering today from stab wounds he suffered just before 2 o’clock Sunday morning, near NE 27TH and Hwy 20, outside of the Eastside Laundromat. Cronin tells Bend Police he and several other people were in a vacant parking lot in the area when he got into an argument with the suspect…49-year-old Shawn Flanary…who stabbed him in the back. Cronin was admitted to the hospital for treatment. Flanary was arrested a short time later and charged with assault and Unlawful use of a weapon. The two men were not acquaintances.
