Fayetteville man charged with attempted first-degree murder

Mario Robinson, 29, was arrested at 305 Lynn Avenue in Fayetteville on Monday morning. Robinson was arrested by authorities, who were performing surveillance on the home. They searched the residence and found him hiding in a rear bedroom.

Robinson was being held at Cumberland County jail Monday. He is charged with attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.

The charges stem from an Aug. 17 incident at a home in the 1800 block of Overlook Drive.

Robinson had just been released from Cumberland County jail the morning of the beating. He had been arrested for an assault on a woman.
