A Cherokee County jury has found a Miami, Oklahoma man guilty of the attempted murder of a Baxter Springs man.
The jury returned with a verdict in less than two hours Thursday and found 38-year-old Brian Waterman guilty of Attempted First Degree Murder, Aggravated Kidnapping, and Aggravated Burglary.
The trial dates back to 2016 when authorities say Waterman broke into a Baxter Springs home and while inside, he stabbed the resident repeatedly and then doused him with bleach. Authorities say Waterman then fled the scene.
Law enforcement later received a tip that Waterman was in Miami and he was arrested after being found hiding under a bed.
