Paul Douglas Cherry - 7/3/08 mug church parking lot stabbing

Raleigh police say a fight in a church parking lot overnight led to a double stabbing.

Investigators three men were drinking in the parking lot of Hillyer Memorial Christian Church, 618 Hillsborough St., around 3 a.m.

They got into an argument, and police say Paul Douglas Cherry, 43, of Raleigh, stabbed the other two.

Emergency crews took Clem Boyd, 42, and Gregory Bethay, 44, to WakeMed in Raleigh. They were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released in the afternoon.

Police continued to search for Cherry on Thursday evening.

Cherry has a lengthy criminal record dating to 1987 in Wake County. He has been convicted of various assault charges five times, as well felonious restraint, resisting and obstructing public officers, breaking-and-entering, and drug offenses.

I'm sure these people were using the Lord's name in vain before and during the fight... I doubt they "got the message" from the Church.

haggis basher, churches are not gulliable. They try to help people who need help, and help them get their lifes worked out. What have you done lately, besides blog?

I've seen fights happen during Church League softball, but this takes the cake.

I'm sure the location is circumstance, and that the 2 individuals involved were not participating in any church related activities. At least I hope not.

It's great to hear that Hiller does what it can, when it can to feed those less fortunate.

Oh, I didn't know they were holding the fight club out there this week...

They release the victims names but not the suspect...shouldn't that be the other way around? Somebody may know where this person is or maybe should be made aware this person has snapped.
