Husband Stabs Wife's Boyfriend After Fight Near Gambrills Restaurant: Police

UPDATED at 6:10 pm GAMBRILLS, MD — A Bowie man was charged with assault after he reportedly stabbed his wife's former boyfriend after an argument at a Waugh Chapel parking lot. Anne Arundel County Police initially said the argument started at the Greene Turtle restaurant and the assault took place outside, but later said that the entire incident happened off restaurant property.

The dispute happened about 8 p.m. Sunday night in the parking lot next to and used by the bar and restaurant on Brandermill Boulevard in Gambrills, according to police spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure.

Police were called to Baltimore Washington Medical Center for a report of a stabbing victim that was in the emergency room receiving treatment.

The victim told police he had been stabbed by his ex-girlfriend’s husband. Officers located the suspect — Kenneth Whiting, 30, of the 11000 block of Atwell Avenue in Bowie — at the restaurant.

Kate Frantz, director of marketing for MidStates Marketing, the company which owns and operates the restaurant, disputed the police department's initial account released of the incident and said the stabbing did not occur inside the Greene Turtle. Frantz says the assault occurred in the Waugh Chapel Towne Centre across from where The Greene Turtle is located; nothing happened in the restaurant or on its property.

Whiting was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree assault.

The victim suffered several minor stab wounds to both arms and two stab wounds to his mid-section. He was treated and released from the hospital, police said.
