Joshua Edwards, 18, was arraigned Friday on charges of assault with intent to murder. Edwards pleaded not guilty and was given a $1 million bond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The court considers the seriousness of the offense, that the alleged offense occurred on the campus of Oakland University, and the serious risk that it could pose to public safety,” said District Court Judge Laura Polizzi.<\/p>\n
The stabbing happened on the evening of Feb. 5 near Van Wagnoner House, a student residence hall. The stabbing led to an\u00a0hours-long lockdown on campus<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oakland University police said they initially received 911 calls about a fight in front of the hall. Authorities say the victim, who is not a student, was found with multiple stab wounds and was taken to a hospital for treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n Police say Edwards, who was arrested earlier this week, is one of two suspects who fled the campus following the incident. Authorities are still searching for the second suspect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
