Tallahassee Man Arrested in Valdosta for Fatal Stabbing Incident
Valdosta Police have reported that a man was arrested on Thursday in Valdosta for fatally stabbing another man earlier that morning. The suspect, identified as John Paul Battle, 59, was apprehended after being found hiding in a utility shed in the 1800 block of Northside Drive.
Battle now faces charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime, according to Valdosta Police.
The incident unfolded during the overnight hours on Thursday when officers, along with the Valdosta Fire Department and EMS, responded to a home in the 2000 block of LaSalle Drive after receiving a report about a woman’s boyfriend being unresponsive.
Upon arrival, officers discovered 49-year-old Collie Mathis with stab wounds to his torso. Despite immediate life-saving measures, Mathis was pronounced dead at the scene.
