A suspect in the stabbing of a woman at a Fond du Lac County home last Friday has made his initial court appearance. Fermin Lopez-Mendoza is charged with Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide, Mayhem, First Degree Reckless Injury, and Aggravated Battery. All charges contain domestic violence and dangerous weapon enhancers. Bail was set at $2 million cash. District Attorney Erik Toney argued for the high bail telling the court that Lopez-Mendoza was in the country illegally and there were indications that following the incident he was attempting to flee to Mexico. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 4.
