Kenneth Chisholm, age 34, of Mashpee was arraigned on one count of Armed Assault to Murder. He is being held without bail pending a “dangerousness hearing” on Friday April 8, 2022.

Joseph France, age 33, of Hyannis was also arraigned on one count of Accessory after the Fact. France’s bail was set in the amount of $1,000 and he was ordered to stay away and have no contact with the alleged victim. France is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing scheduled for May 23, 2022.

A badly wounded man described as being in his late 20s was discovered by a Barnstable Police Patrolman on Main Street near the intersection with Old Colony Road around 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning. The victim was suffering from what was described as a deep, penetrating stab wound to his chest. Police officers applied a chest seal and Hyannis Rescue transported the severely injured man to Cape Cod Hospital. The victim was eventually airlifted to Boston Medical Center, where his injuries were described as “critical” later Saturday morning. The patient’s condition has reportedly improved since then, according to police… and the nature of the investigation has shifted from a possible homicide to one of attempted murder. A suspect in the early morning knifing was arrested shortly after the crime during a car stop, about two blocks away from where police discovered the victim.

As you will see in the following HN Video of Saturday morning’s crime scene and investigation, a woman who walked up to the car stop was also arrested after she sat inside the suspect vehicle and refused to get out. Police had to physically pull her from the crime scene and place her under arrest. Katherine Robinson, age 27, of Hyannis was taken into protective custody for being highly intoxicated. Robinson was also charged with Resisting Arrest and interfering with the police investigation.

As you will also see in the following HN Video, a third male wearing a white hoodie was detained in handcuffs during the car stop. That man was NOT charged with a crime as the police investigation unfolded.
