WV KNIFE AND GUN CLUB - More Bank Heists, Vest Saves Vienna Officer In Stabbing

(06/19/2012)
MAN STABS OFFICER - A Vienna man was arrested Saturday night after allegedly stabbing a Vienna police officer.

Reports say the officer was spared injury because he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

Donovan S. McClung, 38, of Vienna, was charged with attempted murder. His bond was set at $350,000, incarcerated at North Central Regional Jail.

Vienna officers were dispatched about 11 p.m. Saturday to a Vienna residence for a disturbance call.

Officer Jeremy Bradley arrived on scene. After knocking on the door, the door was opened by a male subject later identified as McClung, police said.

McClung allegedly thrust a knife into Bradley's abdomen area.

McClung then shut the door and barricaded himself inside the apartment and allegedly began shouting "I will kill you, I will kill all of you, call the FBI, I have been shot before," Vienna Police said.

A Special Response Team responded to the location and after negotiations with McClung were unsuccessful, the officers made entry into the residence and arrested him.

The Parkersburg Police Department SWAT Team and deputies from the Wood County Sheriff's Department also responded to the scene.

Officer Bradley was not injured because the knife did not penetrate the vest.
