Stabbing suspect in La Crescent going back to Minnesota

Suspect also stabbed himself

Sean Kasten has voluntarily agreed to return to Minnesota to face attempted murder charges.

That was decided at a court hearing Tuesday afternoon, a week after police say he stabbed himself and two other people in La Crescent.

Sean Kasten had been hospitalized in La Crosse after the incident in which he reportedly attacked the woman driving the car he was in, along with the driver’s young daughter and a dog in the car.

Late last year, Kasten, who lives in Ettrick, Wis., appeared before a La Crosse judge, and was placed on probation for car theft and drug charges.

Kasten was ordered not to take any drugs. But he may have been taking drugs last week during the stabbing.
