Man suspected of cutting another’s throat at West Salem Kwik Trip arrested in Tennessee
Just one day after a man was attacked this week with a knife at a West Salem Kwik Trip, a suspect in the crime was arrested after officers caught up with his truck in Tennessee.
Police in West Salem say 59-year-old Paul Stokes is believed to be the driver who cut another man’s throat and chest on Monday at a Kwik Trip on Jefferson Street.
Stokes reportedly fled from the gas station in a red semi truck, and that truck was seen the next day in Kentucky. Within a couple of hours, police in Weakley County, Tennessee pursued the truck, and Stokes was taken to jail.
The driver who was wounded received treatment at a La Crosse area hospital.
Stokes is facing charges of recklessly endangering safety, and substantial battery with a dangerous weapon. It’s not known when he might be returned to La Crosse County to face the local charges.

The capture of this alleged perpetrator is truly amazing police work on the part of our local and national dedicated members of the law enforcement community. Now I ask you, is Kamala Harris the best person for the presidency. Before she change every view point and position she has previously taken to win the election (as stated by dem operative James Carville), advocated defunding police, encouraged violent rioters, who were burning down buildings not to stop, should not stop, and she created a bail fund to put criminals back out on the street. Think about that as you vote in the election.
