UPDATE: Arrest Made in Dibbles Inn Stabbing — Then Released Less Than 24 Hours Later

After a violent Sunday night stabbing in Middleville led to felony charges and no bail, custody records now show the accused was quickly released by court order.

MIDDLEVILLE, NY — Just when it seemed like this case was starting to settle into place, it took another turn that’s got people talking across the Mohawk Valley.

TVOTT Hillbilly News previously reported that a violent incident inside Dibbles Inn on Sunday night, April 5, 2026, escalated from an argument into a stabbing that left one man seriously injured. The victim, according to multiple confirmations, survived and is now recovering.

Following that incident, an arrest was made.

Records show the individual was taken into custody on April 8 and was facing serious felony charges, including assault with a weapon and criminal possession of a weapon tied to a prior conviction. At the time, the individual was reportedly being held with no bail.

But now comes the part raising eyebrows.

According to custody records, that same individual was released by court order on April 9 — less than 24 hours after being booked.

That shift has left many asking the same question.

How does someone go from being held on felony charges with no bail… to being released that quickly?

At this time, authorities have not publicly detailed the reasoning behind the release, nor have they confirmed what conditions, if any, were put in place by the court.

What remains clear is how fast this entire situation unfolded.

Sunday night:
A 911 call comes in from Dibbles Inn.
An argument is heard in the background.
The call drops.

What followed inside the bar, according to eyewitness accounts, was a fight that spiraled out of control — ending with a man suffering a severe neck injury after being stabbed.

Days later, an arrest is made.

And now, just as quickly, a release.

While the investigation remains ongoing, the lack of detailed official information has left the community filling in the blanks and asking questions that haven’t yet been answered.

TVOTT Hillbilly News will continue to follow this case closely and provide updates as more information becomes available.
