A sixth man has been arrested and charged in association with the stabbing of Jeffrey Payne back in February.

Reno County Sheriff Deputies apparently made a stop of a vehicle and found John Robert Cantu had an outstanding warrant from Hutchinson Police involving the attempted murder case. He’s charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary and aggravated battery according to Police Detective Marty Robertson.

He’s believed to have been the one who was driving the vehicle over to Payne’s home, but its unclear if he went inside. Police have not been able to talk with him, and the fact that he was wanted hadn’t been released because of fear he might flee the jurisdiction.

He hasn’t made a court appearance thus far, apparently to intoxicated for him to be read the complaint, that may come on Thursday.

The other 5-suspects arrested in association with the beating and stabbing of Payne are charged with attempted murder and other serious felonies.

The five include Jordon LeShore, Sean Arevalo, Desmond Cantu, Troy Bell and Joseph LeShore

The attack on Payne occurred back on February 18, when these men allegedly broke into Payne’s home and physically attacked and stabbed him numerous times in the leg and torso.

John Cantu is being held on a 450-thousand dollar bond and should make an appearance on Thursday.

He’s no stranger to the law with convictions for drugs, obstruction, flee and elude, DUI, and burglary.
