A stabbing at Friday’s restaurant in Cross Lanes apparently occurred after the suspect became upset that the victim was allegedly having a relationship with the suspect’s girlfriend, authorities said. Tony Randall Blankenship, 27, of Nitro allegedly stabbed Shane Ray Thompson, 35, of Dunbar with a box cutter-style knife outside the restaurant about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Lt. Sean Crosier of the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department said. Crosier said Blankenship and Thompson, employees of the restaurant, had been arguing when the suspect followed Thompson out of the restaurant and stabbed him in the upper left side of the chest. He said the wound did not appear to be serious. Blankenship was charged with malicious wounding, Crosier said. He was transported to South Central Regional Jail where he was being held on $30,000 bond. The jail website did not list Blankenship Friday as being held there. The name of the suspect arrested in connection with a stabbing Wednesday at a Cross Lanes restaurant and the name of the victim have been released by authorities.
