Goleta Man stabbed, treated for wounds

Santa Maria Times: A Lompoc man who was stabbed early Sunday morning in Goleta has been released from the hospital.
Binicio Nicholas Pereda, 20, was taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for treatment of three non-life threatening lacerations to his back that appeared to be caused by a knife, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.

Deputies responded to a report of a stabbing at 2:20 a.m. Sunday at a residence in the area of Mallard Avenue and Alondra Drive, and found Pereda out front the house, where his friends were performing first aid.

Witnesses said Pereda had been a guest at a party held at the house, and had stepped outside. Party-goers found a wounded Pereda about 20 minutes later.

Witnesses could not provide any information on the suspect. The sheriff's department reported there is no indication the incident was gang-related.
