An Aurora man is headed to prison for stabbing a man he knew in the neck at a bar in the city.
Kane County Associate Judge Linda S. Abrahamson Thursday sentenced 37-year-old Michael W. Moser-Booth, 2300 block of Goldenrod Court, to 12 years in prison.
A Kane County jury on Sept. 13 convicted Moser-Booth of armed violence, a Class X felony.
Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Lori Anderson and Kelley Flinn presented evidence that at about 11 p.m. April 12, 2016, Moser-Booth entered a tavern in the 700 block of Hill Avenue, Aurora, stabbed the victim in the left side of the neck and fled, according to a press release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Moser-Booth knew the victim and targeted him, according to the release. The victim continues to suffer from what doctors consider to be permanent injuries, according to officials.
