EDGEWOOD, MD — Officials say an Edgewood man has been charged in connection with stabbing his neighbor Friday morning during an argument. The neighbor was hospitalized after the altercation, which authorities said happened around 11:30 a.m.

Willie Bill Miller, 47, of the 1500 block of Charlestown Drive, has been charged with first and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office.
