CHINA GROVE — A man who authorities say was attempting to break into a home and was subsequently stabbed will not face charges.

China Grove Police received a call Friday at 7:30 p.m. to 16 Walnut St. for an attempted breaking and entering. Upon arrival, they discovered the intruder, identified as Brian Keith Jenkins, 35, had been stabbed six times in the torso area.

Police said Wednesday they believe they had identified the person who stabbed Jenkins. No arrests were made at the time.

“I have discussed this case with the DA’s Office and we have decided that there will be no charges filed in this case,” said Detective D.P Walther.

Jenkins does not live at 16 Walnut St. but knows people who do live there. Police said they didn’t know why Jenkins was attempting to break into the home.

This is the same home officers raided in May when a search turned up dozens of guns, drugs and stolen goods. The homeowner, Jimmy Brown, remains in the county jail under $1.5 million bond

Police said Jenkins is doing fine and is at home.
