(Cass County, Iowa) – A man from Atlantic, last week, waived his rights and, through his attorney, entered a plea of guilty to charges associated with an incident on Cedar Street, in May 2022. 30-year-old Anthony Rey Asay was charged with Willful Injury, Assault Causing Bodily Injury and Possession of a Controlled Substance (Marijuana) 1st Offense, in connection to an incident of stabbing.

Asay remains held in the Washington County, Nebraska jail, on charges of 2nd Degree Assault, 3rd Degree Assault, Possession of a Deadly Weapon by Prohibited Person and Use of Weapon to Commit Felony. Those charges were the result of an investigation into a Blair, NE. stabbing incident that occurred in August.

A month earlier (July, 20220) a jury in Cass County found Asay Not Guilty on charges of Attempted Murder, Arson 1st Degree and Assault Causing Bodily Injury that stemmed from a May 4th house fire on Cedar Street, in Atlantic.
